He was an Austrian Jewish biblical scholar who became a follower of Jesus. He later lived in Britain and was ordained in the Anglican Church. He wrote several books about Jesus in context of his Jewish roots. this is from his book "The Life and Times of Jesus the MEssiah," in these chapters he describes how a synagogue service would be held at the time of jesus and gives his idea of how that day in the synagogue might have unfolded. the language is old fashioned but I found it fasciinating if you can get thru the whole thing. It gives you some background for the reading in Luke. I read 2 of his books some years ago and found they shed a lot of light on Jesus jewish roots. http://philologos.org/__eb-lat/book310.htm http://philologos.org/__eb-lat/book311.htm here are links to 2 chapters from a book written in 1800s by Alfred Edersheim.

It reminds me of going to temple when i was a boy (not that jesus was there-- at least not in flesh and blood) The ark would be opened and the scroll was removed. It was opened to a certain place and then one of the men of the community would read the passage. I dont remember anyone ever saying,, today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing..... This was in Hebrew of course. This is excatly what happened this one day at this synagogue 2000 years ago. I bet that historians could date this event just by tying in the passage to the reading calendar and cross referencing with the historical calendar. I love this passage.
