Prophecy and History in Relation to the Messiah

By: Alfred Edersheim

Narrated by: Matthew Erwin

Alfred Edersheim (1825-1889) was a biblical scholar who converted from Judaism to Christianity and wrote popular books like The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, The Temple: Its Ministry and Services, and Bible History Old Testament. In this extensive work, Edersheim examines the Messianic prophecies in the Jewish scripture from the Christian perspective.

Through the 12 chapters of the book, he argues that Jesus Christ fulfilled the Messianic hopes of many of the Old Testament prophecies. He also uses the Apocrypha, Pentateuch, and Pseudepigrapha to find further examples that Jesus was present in Jewish texts many centuries before he was born.

Amazing rebuttal of the higher criticism

This is a real scholar with the real arguments. Highly recommend this book although the narrator was boring most of the time... still worth it!

Poor narration

To was painful for me to listen to Mr. Erwin’s narration. Did he not consult with anyone with knowledge of how things were pronounced in regard to the Ancient Near East such as “pseudepigrapha”, etc. I have had a great interest in the ANE since I was a student in college and one of my professors had actually worked on archaeological sites with Dr. William F. Albright. I have also followed the Temple Institute for over twenty years and in particular, Rabbi Chaim Richmond so it really bothers me to hear some one mispronouncing words so badly.
