THE ANCIENT HEBREWS
By Kenny Mann
Benchmark Books / Marshall Cavendish, 1999
"Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee."
According to Jewish tradition, this is the message that Abraham, the first Hebrew in recorded history, received from God some four thousand years ago. On this momentous occasion begins the recorded history of the Hebrew people. Did Abraham - who is also considered to be the father of the Muslim people - really receive such a message? Did he and his family really exist? This book explores the many journeys of the Hebrew people and the evolution of their belief in one god. Many illustrations as well as clear maps, a timeline, a glossary of Hebrew terms and a bibliography help readers find their way through the complexities of Hebrew faith and history from Abraham to the present time.
