Download or read book The Story of the Jews written by Simon Schama and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this magnificently illustrated cultural history—the tie-in to the pbs and bbc series The Story of the Jews—simon schama details the story of the jewish people, tracing their experience across three millennia, from their beginnings as an ancient tribal people to the opening of the new world in 1492 It is a story like no other: an epic of endurance in the face of destruction, of creativity in the face of oppression, joy amidst grief, the affirmation of life despite the steepest of odds. It spans the millennia and the continents—from India to Andalusia and from the bazaars of Cairo to the streets of Oxford. It takes you to unimagined places: to a Jewish kingdom in the mountains of southern Arabia; a Syrian synagogue glowing with radiant wall paintings; the palm groves of the Jewish dead in the Roman catacombs. And its voices ring loud and clear, from the severities and ecstasies of the Bible writers to the love poems of wine bibbers in a garden in Muslim Spain. In The Story of the Jews, the Talmud burns in the streets of Paris, massed gibbets hang over the streets of medieval London, a Majorcan illuminator redraws the world; candles are lit, chants are sung, mules are packed, ships loaded with gems and spices founder at sea. And a great story unfolds. Not—as often imagined—of a culture apart, but of a Jewish world immersed in and imprinted by the peoples among whom they have dwelled, from the Egyptians to the Greeks, from the Arabs to the Christians. Which makes the story of the Jews everyone's story, too.

Download or read book History Of The Jewish People Vol 2 written by James Stevenson Riggs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-16 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2007. This study, the companion to Volume I, continues the history of the Jewish people to the time when Christianity became independent of Judaism. The historical study of the life and times of Jesus has brought a clearer realisation of the importance of understanding postexilic Judaism. This volume is both a history of the Jewish people for two hundred and forty years of its existence, and a contribution toward the interpretation of the gospels in so far as a knowledge of the faiths, conditions and aims of Judaism can be interpretive of the form and method of the activity of Jesus. Contents include the historical sources and literature of the period; the causes and occasion of the Maccabean uprising; the struggle for religious and political freedom; the attainment of independence; Judaism in Syria and Egypt; internal divisions and the growth of parties; the revival of Hellenism; the Roman period of Jewish history; the last of the Hasmoneans; Herod the King of the Jews; the inner life of the nation; the final catastrophe at Masada and glimpses of Judaism in Palestine after the war and of Judaism in the Dispersion. This comprehensive study clearly shows the complex background to the present, where both faiths - Judaism and Christianity - continue to work out their destinies.
