Could The Temple be in the City of David? by Joe Good

I haven’t read Ernest Martin’s book, but I have read Robert Cornuke’s book which goes along the same lines and gives pretty much the same information and conclusion. Being uninformed from the start about ALL of the research on the 2nd Temple, Cornuke had me convinced. Then I started studying the actual research that has been done. Joseph Good has spent over 40 years learning everything he can about the 2nd Temple: it’s location, the services practiced therein, the architecture, the history of Jerusalem, the geography of the area in and around Jerusalem, etc. He is considered one of the world’s foremost experts on the Temple. After learning what I now know about the 2nd Temple, I could barely re-read Cornuke’s book. It’s not only wrong, it’s dead wrong. And if Martin’s book is anything like Cornuke’s, then it’s going to be dead wrong also. I can understand why Joseph put the book down after page 38. It’s like a incoming freshman’s first research paper being presented as a doctoral thesis. It would be rejected before the whole paper had been read. The only thing that one can learn from Martin’s and Cornuke’s books is what poor research looks like. The evidence is overwhelming and falls on the side of Joseph Good’s teaching.
