Publisher's Synopsis
"Considering that the Israelites numbered 600,000 men, plus their families and
livestock, plus all the hangers-on accompanying them, we're looking at acompany of some two to three million people."Dr. Leland has painstakingly calculated, in dollars, the staggering amount of gold it took to build the Temple. He has estimated Solomon's total wealth, including an outline of where it ended up and the value of many items associated with the Temple. With Dr. Leland's book as a companion, anyone who reads or studies the Bible will hopefully find a deeper understanding of God>s Word. He has found that questions asked, and questions answered, increase faith and bring about greater spiritual growth. The Appendices contain various charts, instructive quotes, and catchy Biblical phrases that hopefully will inspire deeper thought and provide "seed" material for whoever is presenting God's Word to others. Dr. Leland applies his knowledge and research to many biblical dilemmas in which the curious will delight.
