This handsomely illustrated bok is the result of the felicitous fuson of the Ritmeyers' unique experience
and training in recording and illustrating the extensive archaeological excavations around the Temple Mount that took place in Jerusalem after the six day War in 1967, and their thorough knowledge of Scripture, other sources and languages.
Following the detailed description of the Temple platform, the buildings, and the interior of the Temple are chapters on the priestly functions, the service in the Temple on weekdays and the Sabbath and on holy days. A special chapter deals with the Jewish calendar and festivals as they were celebrated in the days of Christ
