Product Review
An English farmer and lay preacher devoted 18 years to creating a unique 1:100 scale model of this temple.The Splendor of the Temple is a lovely pictorial monument to that man's work, and it gives a running explanation of the temple's history and all of its items and rooms. (

Product Description

Reader ReviewsI cannot recommend this book too highly to readers intrigued by the decribed structure and functionality of the Herodian Temple in Jerusalem. The author has done two magnificent tasks: first, creating a scale model of Herod's Temple based upon descriptions from Flavius Josephus, the Midrash, and Scripture. second, writing a considered text to accompany excellent photos of his model, intelligible to anyone who can read English. His text and terrific color photos are unencumbered by "should-be" tradition, and the book makes a compact valucable addition to any Jerusalem scholar's library. Freemasons should note the shape of the main building from above. Tau for two?
