Further Reading

There are several records of the history of Jerusalem at the time of the first and second temples, and their destruction.

Today, we have the Internet which searches for keywords in very much the same way as the indexes served in the back of books. However, to search inside a document use the 'edit' dropdown available in some browsers and PDF viewers, and look for 'find' or 'find in page' to enter the word or phrase of interest.

In this page I list the books used in my studies to enable the visitor to this site to engage in further reading. Please do not take my word for the accuracy of the information I have provided - prove it for yourself - be like the Bereans: "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." (Acts 17:11)
