A detailed pictorial tour of Herod’s temple with full-color illustrations of Alec Garrard’s temple model. This full-color book is filled with beautiful photographs of a scale model of Herod’s temple. Each area and item of the temple is discussed in detail, including the inner gates, the porch, the table of showbread, the lampstand, and the altar of incense. Because of the painstaking attention to detail that went into this model, it took some eighteen years to complete. It brings to life the worship, ceremonies, and day-to-day activities of the temple.
