"Edersheim is a master at research and an example of someone who got s close to his subject matter that he was unable to draw accurate conclusions about the reality and extent of the Jesus-legend. It is a fascinating portrait into the world of a very superstitious nation, in a very superstitious time, desperate for a Saviour and a new identity in a changing world.
It allows you to walk the streets of the ancient world and interact with the people; to read their mindset and to understand the development of a mythical super-hero."
"Alfred Edersheim was considered to be among the foremost scholars of judaism during his lifetime. He converted to christianity and brought a wealth of knowledge to his study of the Christ. You will find this book to be an insightful and thought provoking analysis of the life of Christ from the perspective of an emminent scholar of judaism."
