Zion: The Promised Land - Paperback

by Jagath Jayaprakash (Author)

Zion: The Promised Land is a brief history of Israel-the Jewish homeland from Biblical times to the 21st century. The history of Israel is connected with the history and culture of the Jews. Judaism is the world's oldest civilization, and it is predicated on notions that are both Semitic and Monolithic. Even 1000 years before the advent of Christ, the Jews had a rich written history. In addition to archaeology, biology, historical textual records, religious literature, and mythology, the prehistory and ethnic genesis of the Jews are inextricably intertwined. For the preceding 3000 years, the Jews have clung to their religious beliefs, practices, and cultural heritage while keeping a strong sense of social individuality. We might learn that such a civilization is exceedingly unique in the history of humanity.
