History of the Jewish Nation: After the Destruction of Jerusalem

This classic volume was first published in 1856 by the famous biblical scholar and historian, Alfred Edersheim, (1825-1889), born in Vienna of Jewish parents on 7 March 1825. Edersheim converted to Christianity and soon studied Christian theology both in Edinburgh and also in Berlin, and in 1846 he became a Presbyterian minister. He was a highly respected theologian, scholar and author.

This 553-page paperback, the third edition remains a standard history on the Jewish nation for the period beginning with the destruction of Jerusalem and ending early in the fifth century with the extinction of the patriarchate and the final dispersion of the Jews. "It was particularly the object of this History," writes Edersheim, "not only to give an impartial account of facts, but especially to describe the state of society, of trades, commerce, agriculture, arts, sciences, theology etc., during the first centuries of our era." An incredibly valuable Index is included. This is the FIRST paperback EDITION by Baker Book House.
