Autorenporträt
Alfred Edersheim (1825–1889) was a Jewish scholar of great erudition and a notable Christian convert of the 19th century whose scholarly works have left a lasting imprint on biblical studies. Born in Vienna, Austria, Edersheim was reared in a Jewish home and received a traditional Jewish education. His quest for knowledge led him to Christianity, and he was baptized in 1843. Pursuing theological studies, Edersheim was influenced by the Oxford Movement and later followed a ministerial vocation within the Church of England. His works reflect a unique blend of Jewish perspective and Christian scholarship, contributing significantly to the understanding of the Judaic context of the Christian canon. Among his seminal works is 'The Temple: Its Ministry and Services' which provides an exhaustive account of the Second Temple period and the practice of religious rituals during that epoch. This book remains a valuable resource for biblical scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of religious history and practice in the ancient Jewish context. Edersheim's literary style combines meticulous research with a narrative that makes complex ancient practices accessible, offering readers a vivid portrayal of temple worship and the historical-religious milieu into which Christianity emerged.
