Description
This book uncovers the meaning and significance of the Jewish Temple and its Service during the last centuries of its existence. The non-biblical sources indicate that the Temple and its rites were seen as holding the universe together, providing order and meaning in a world which would overwise easily lapse into chaos.
First Sentence
Josephus informs us (Cont. Ap. I. 183) that Hecataeus of Abdera was a Greek philosopher who lived in the days of Alexander the Great and Ptolemy I (Soter) son of Lagus (c.367/6-283/2 BC), and goes to some lengths to demonstrate that such is the case (Cont. Ap. I. 184-185).
