Prophecy and History in Relation to the Messiah (Unabridged‪)‬

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.
