The book represents one of the foundational and most highly regarded comprehensive works of modern historiography dedicated to Jewish history. The author of this acclaimed title is the distinguished British historian, theologian, and Anglican priest, the Reverend Dr. James Parkes, who remains remembered in academic circles as one of the most prominent Christian experts on Jewish studies and a pioneer in the systematic research of the historical roots of antisemitism. His approach in this work departs from the traditional, isolated observation of the Jewish past; Parkes brilliantly structures the history of this people through a fascinating, dynamic series of successive and simultaneous encounters between the Jewish community and various non-Jewish civilizations, religions, and social systems. Through a chronological arc spanning four millennia—from the biblical kingdoms of Israel and Judea, through complex relations with the Roman Empire, early Islam, and medieval Christendom, to modern secularism, national awakenings, the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the rebirth of the State of Israel—the author offers a deeply objective, analytical, and empathetic insight into the survival and identity of the Jewish people. This specific, vintage pocket edition from the late 1960s is perfect for the libraries of historians, theologians, and any passionate collector of serious historical literature.
