Bücher von Alfred Edersheim

Alfred Edersheim's classic work, revised and illustrated for the modern reader. A must for every theologian, minister, student, or writer of historical fiction. With a foreward by Angela Hunt.

Alfred Edersheim's classic commentary on the Biblical Book of Exodus is admired for its fluency of explanation, and for the author's immense knowledge of Old Testament lore.Exodus, the second book of the Old Testament, is renowned for its telling of how the ancient Hebrews departed from the Kingdom of the Egyptians. Egypt at the time was ruled by the Pharaoh, a proud and domineering ruler who oppressed those who believed in the one, true God. The manner in which God treated His peoples, showing them a path away from the misery of Pharaoh's rule, and unleashing a series of misfortunes upon the Pharaoh and the Egyptian citizens, form some of the Bible's most memorable passages.Edersheim's narrative is not simply an explanatory reading of the Biblical text; it also delves into the history of Egypt, as discovered by archaeologists and chroniclers of its ancient past. The referencing of multiple and varied sources enhances the commentary, making it useful for students of theology and lay believers alike. The author served as a minister in England; through effort and voracity he became a leading scholar and authority upon the Bible in the 19th century, his books frequently consulted by the Christian priesthood and adherents.

Edersheim's classic work, invaluable to ministers, scholars, and writers of historical fiction, is now available in an easy-to-read format with modernized spellings and illustrations. Foreword by editor Angela Hunt.

Alfred Edersheim (1825-1889) est né à Vienne, dans une famille juive qui parlait couramment l'anglais, et qui lui fit apprendre l'hébreu dans la Torah et le Talmud. Converti au christianisme à vingt ans, il devint pasteur de l'Église libre d'Écosse, dans la Vieille Aberdeen, après une année de missionnariat auprès des Juifs roumains. D'une santé fragile il dut ensuite se déplacer, vers le sud : à Torquay, puis à Oxford, où il donnait des cours sur la Septante ; il est mort en France, à Menton. On retient de lui plusieurs ouvrages, dans lesquels il éclaire les textes bibliques par sa connaissance de première main de la culture et de la littérature juives : Histoire de la Bible en sept volumes, Le Temple, ses ministres, son culte au temps de Jésus-Christ, Histoire de la Nation Juive, La Vie et les Temps de Jésus le Messie, etc. L'un deux, que nous rééditons ici, Sketches of Jewish Social Life, fut traduit en français par le pasteur Gustave Roux, et parut en 1896. Il ne fait pas double emploi avec le célèbre livre d'Edmond Stapfer, La Palestine au temps de Jésus-Christ, en ce que s'il est moins méthodique que ce dernier, il nous immerge plus profondément, et avec plus d'empathie, dans l'atmosphère terrestre et spirituelle respirée par le Sauveur, lors de sa première venue.

""This book, which now appears in a revised form, does not lay claim to be either a Critical or a Historical Commentary, but is intended to follow the Scriptural account of the Life and Work of the Prophet Elisha with the view of pointing out their moral, and learning their lessons, as applicable to all times, and especially to our own. This will explain the absence of exegetical notes, and of all discussion of the points which have been raised, more particularly in connection with this portion of the Old Testament.""--From the PrefaceAlfred Edersheim (1825-1889) was a Jewish convert to Christianity and a biblical scholar known especially for his book The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah (1883).

Prophecy and History examines the complex relationship between events prophesied in the Old Testament, and the coming of Jesus Christ as described in the New Testament Gospels.This book is a collection of twelve lectures which the author delivered over the course of several years. Each establishes a scholarly basis for the relationship Christ has with elements of the Old Testament, the Pentateuch, and the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha. The Messianic concept is demonstrated to flow deep within many holy texts, and Jesus is shown to have been anticipated by several prophets who lived centuries before His birth.Authoritative and meticulous in his scholarship, Alfred Edersheim presents his arguments with a multitudinous annotations and frequent references to Biblical Scripture as well as the Talmud. Although his vocabulary tends toward the scholarly, Edersheim weaves a compelling narrative which is both challenging and rewarding for readers.

Alfred Edersheim's well-researched account of everyday Jewish life at the time the New Testament Gospels took place remains one of the best texts on the subject ever authored. This edition includes the author's appendixes.The reader is taken back to Israel and the surrounding areas more than 2,000 years ago.

The author goes into much detail, presenting an evocative picture of a sophisticated ancient society.We also hear of the political landscape of the era, particularly concerning the Pharisees - the leading social and political movement of the time - and its interactions with rival movements such as the Sadducees and Essenes. Religious rites, the layout and ceremonies of ancient Jewish synagogues and temples, and the creation of the ancient religious Talmudic literature, are related.
