The Temple: Its Ministry and Services As They Were at the Time of Jesus Christ - Бесплатная аудиокнига

It has been my wish in this book, to take the reader back eighteen centuries; to show him Jerusalem as it was, when our Lord passed through its streets, and the Sanctuary, when He taught in its porches and courts; to portray, not only the appearance and structure of the Temple, but to describe its ordinances and worshippers, the ministry of its priesthood, and the ritual of its services. In so doing, I have hoped, not only to illustrate a subject, in itself most interesting to the Bible-student, but also, and chiefly, to sketch, in one important aspect, the religious life of the period in which our blessed Lord lived upon earth, the circumstances under which He taught, and the religious rites by which He was surrounded ; and whose meaning, in their truest sense He came to fulfil. - Summary by Preface
