<img src="./gifs/pastors/alfred_edersheim.jpg" align="RIGHT" border="1" style="margin-bottom:10px;" hspace="5">Alfred Edersheim was born at Vienna,
|
|
Mar. 7, 1825 of Jewish parentage, and received his earliest education in a
|
|
gymnasium of his native city and in the talmud torah attached to a Viennese
|
|
Synagogue. In 1841 he continued his studies at the University of Vienna, but
|
|
left it before taking his degree on account of the financial reverses of his
|
|
father. Going to Pesth as a teacher of languages, he came under the influence
|
|
of John Duncan, a Scotch Presbyterian chaplain and was converted to Christianity.
|
|
Edersheim accompanied Duncan on his return to Scotland and studied theology at
|
|
New College, Edinburgh, and at the University of Berlin. In 1846 he was ordained
|
|
to the ministry of the Presbyterian Church. He was for a year a missionary to
|
|
the Jews at Jassy, Romania. In 1849, he was installed at the Free Church, Old
|
|
Aberdeen. From that time forward he held various posts throughout England and
|
|
Scotland. He died at Menton, France on March 16, 1889.<p>His works include
|
|
<em>History of the Jewish Nation after the Destruction of Jerusalem by Titus;
|
|
The Temple Its Ministry and Services at the Time of Jesus Christ; Bible History;
|
|
Jewish Social Life in the Days of Christ; The Life and Times of Jesus the
|
|
Messiah</em>; his greatest work; and <em>Prophecy and History in Relation to the
|
|
Messiah</em>.</p><p>Adapted from <em>The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of
|
|
Religious Knowledge</em>.</p>
