Sketches of Jewish Social Life in the Days of Christ

In this volume, Rev. Alfred Edersheim provides insight into the land of Palestine during the time of Jesus—the landscape, persons, events, habits, modes of thinking, and practices of teaching and worship. The result of many years study, Sketches of Jewish Social Life sets the scene for Jesus' life and ministry through a series of topical essays on various aspects of Jewish culture as it existed in the first-century Roman province of Palestine.
