I had a sense of deja vu while reading this book. Obviously I must have started this book once but for some reason, might not have finished it. Nevertheless I enjoyed it immensely. David Rothmeyer is asked to go an a mysterious mission in Israel where he joined by others on the same quest. A group of Jews want to build a new temple but first they need to find an eligible candidate for the job of high priest. This is a fascinating and intriguing story.

Dit boek heb ik via-via in handen gekregen. Het verhaal deed me een beetje denken aan de Da Vinci Code van Dan Brown en ook de schrijfstijl heeft daar iets van weg. Het is goed leesbaar, maar verder geen aanrader. Naar mijn smaak is het nogal oubollig en te eenzijdig religieus. 2,5 ster.

Cool story.

[Piper · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was just an ok book. The premise of the novel, the rebuilding of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem and search for a current day descendent of the priestly line, is intriguing. However, I wasn't crazy about the dialogue and the way everything fit together seemed a bit too pat. I've really enjoyed other books by this author, so I was disappointed in The Priest.

I enjoyed reading this book. It has some truth to it also.

[Brendan · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book has decent writing, but the story is a bit unbelievable and comes together much too smoothly.

Traylor does a great job in telling a story steeped in history and prophecy. Christian prophecy and Jewish tradition all wrapped up into one book.
