Review Quotes

Seldom have I seen so much packed into so few pages. This beautifully illustrated history of the focal point of Jewish worship from the Tabernacle to the time of Herod's Temple is simply and concisely presented. . . . This volume is a worthwhile addition to your library and its use will greatly enhance your understanding of the structures that the Scripture devotes much space to detailing.-- "Messenger" (6/3/2004 12:00:00 AM)

The photographs are spectacular; the text is simple, yet concise and comprehensive. If you want to step back in time for a quiet evening of walking through the Temple, mingling with the priests and Israelites in activities at the ancient House of God, you will not be disappointed. The Kregel Pictorial Guide to the Temple, from cover to cover, is both a marvelous aid for teaching the tremendous truths bound up in the Temple worship and ritual and an illuminating personal adventure.--Elwood McQuaid "Friends of Israel" (6/3/2004 12:00:00 AM)
