ENDORSEMENTS FOR ROSE GUIDE TO THE TEMPLE:

As former architect of the Temple Mount Excavations, following the 6-Day War, and as one who has, since then, been engaged in intensive Temple research, I highly recommend this book [Rose Guide to the Temple]. Its lavish illustrations which include color maps, diagrams and authoritative reconstructions, coupled with clear verbal descriptions, offer unique insights into the subject of the Temple. Christian leaders and visitors to the Holy Land will find it provides an invaluable overview of the topic from the time of the Tabernacle to the present day.
Leen Ritmeyer, Former architect of the Temple Mount Excavations

It is a real pleasure for me to describe my joy and deep appreciation for The Rose Guide to the Temple by Dr. Randall Price. Lay people and scholars alike will find that the narrative script, the graphics, and the pictures are most scintillating and beautifully carried out throughout the entire book. I have not seen anything that compares to this work of academic responsible research and superb aesthetic taste. Not only does this text cover all periods of history in which the temple was part of those times, but it carefully and irenically explores the question of a future temple in Jerusalem with a fairness to all sides in the debate. —Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., President Emeritus, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

Surrounded by many books as I am in my office, I tend keep the really good ones close—within arms'reach. Written by one of the best Christian, Jewish studies scholars in the world today, Dr. J. Randall Price's Rose Guide to the Temple is one of those keep-close books. Exhaustive as it is, it is a one-stop-shop for those wanting to hear, see and chart the story of the most contested spot on planet earth. It's not only well written—something we have all grown to expect from Dr. Price: it's well presented, with quality illustrations, diagrams, photos, classic art and more. Believing it to be well worth the money, I am happy to commend it to you, knowing you'll be pleased to commend it to others.
