| Summary | "The Prince of the House of David" by J. H. Ingraham is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in ancient Jerusalem during a pivotal era, focusing on the Jewish people and their anticipation of the Messiah. The central character is Adina, a Jewish girl from Alexandria, who travels to Jerusalem and chronicles her experiences through letters to her father, revealing her reflections on faith, prophecy, and the socio-political landscape of her time. At the start of the novel, Adina arrives in Jerusalem, filled with reverence and awe for the Holy City and the Temple. She describes her journey and the sights along the way, detailing her emotional response upon entering the city. Adina writes about observing the sacrifices in the Temple, the corrupt priesthood, and the prophetic figure John the Baptist, who captures the attention of the people with his call for repentance. As she learns about John's prophecies regarding the approaching Messiah, her letters convey her growing curiosity and hope for a divine savior, all set against the backdrop of Roman rule and cultural tension in Jerusalem. This opening establishes the spiritual and historical context crucial to understanding Adina's evolving beliefs and the larger narrative of the coming of Christ.
