Book Description
This research aims to investigate the role or roles of the physical Jerusalem temple within the second temple Jewish writings in terms of whether the physical temple has any role to play in relation to the pivot point in eschatology. The pivot point or fulcrum in time refers to the end of the exile and perhaps the beginning of the eschaton. The exile may be theological, but many second temple Jewish texts address the physical gathering of the children of Israel to the land of Israel (i.e., from physical exile, even if the text also addresses a theological exile), thus, making the return a complete ingathering of the children of Israel. The passages of these ancient texts have been analysed before, but never with this lens. Looking to see if there is any role the Jerusalem Temple performs in expected eschatological events will at least allow an answer to be given, which is better than never asking the question in the first place, which has been the case until now. This study produces results as the Jerusalem Temple has always been a place of great expectations.

Book Description
The 'temple action' of Jesus, popularly known as 'temple cleansing, ' has been subjected to meticulous studies. Nevertheless, studies focussing on the Johannine version of the 'temple action' are surprisingly very few. The present work concentrates on the Johannine 'temple action' (Jn 2,13-22). The unique contribution of this book is that it has ventured to situate the 'temple action' of Jesus in contexts which have hitherto not been adequately considered in this respect. These significant contexts include the Pre-70 C. E. Jewish hopes concerning the eschatological temple and the Post-70 C.E. private, apocalyptic, rabbinic and political responses to the destruction of the Jerusalem temple. By placing the 'temple action' in the aforesaid contexts, and also in the context of the synoptic versions of the 'temple action, ' this study clarifies why John presents Jesus as the temple, and what it means to say that Jesus' body is the temple. These contexts, besides throwing light to the 'temple action' of Jesus, also turn to be a powerful key to unravel the subtle nuances of much of the Johannine materia

Book Description
The Second Temple was the Jewish Holy Temple which stood on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during the Second Temple period, between 516 BCE and 70 CE. According to Jewish tradition, it replaced Solomon's Temple (the First Temple), which was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE, when Jerusalem was conquered and part of the population of the Kingdom of Judah was taken into exile to Babylon. The Second Temple was originally a rather modest structure constructed by a number of Jewish exile groups returning to the Levant from Babylon. However, during the reign of Herod the Great, the Second Temple was completely refurbished, and the original structure was totally overhauled into the large and magnificent edifices and facades that are more recognizable. Much like the First Temple, the Second Temple was destroyed alongside Jerusalem in 70 CE by the Romans, in retaliation to an ongoing Jewish revolt.

Book Description
This valuable work describes the temple system in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus Christ. It examines how the temple symbolized the significance of Jerusalem's roles in the origin of two prominent world religions. Alfred Edersheim brought the temple, priests, and devotees to life through his prose. He articulately depicted the sacrifices of the Old Testament and the Jewish festivals, emphasizing the interesting acts performed. The readers can almost see the events happening in front of them, owing to the vivid illustrations.
