Publisher's Synopsis
""History of the People of Israel: From the Earliest Times to the Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans"" is a comprehensive historical account of the Jewish people, written by Carl Heinrich Cornill and first published in 1898. The book covers the entire history of the Jewish people, from their earliest origins to the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in 70 CE. Cornill begins by examining the ancient Near Eastern context in which the Jewish people emerged, discussing the various civilizations and empires that existed in the region during this time. He then moves on to discuss the early history of the Jewish people, including their patriarchal ancestors, the Exodus from Egypt, and the establishment of the Israelite monarchy. The book also covers the period of the Babylonian exile and the subsequent return to Jerusalem under the Persian Empire, as well as the Hellenistic and Roman periods, during which the Jewish people faced significant challenges to their religious and cultural identity. Throughout the book, Cornill provides detailed analyses of key historical events and figures, as well as insights into the social, political, and religious contexts in which they occurred. He draws on a wide range of sources, including biblical texts, archaeological evidence, and historical accounts from other ancient civilizations. Overall, ""History of the People of Israel"" is a comprehensive and engaging account of the Jewish people's rich and complex history, providing readers with a deeper understanding of one of the world's most influential cultures and religions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
