The Story Of The Chosen People (1896)

The Story of the Chosen People, written by H.A. Guerber in 1896, is a historical account of the Jewish people, from their origins in ancient Mesopotamia to the establishment of the nation of Israel. The book begins with the story of Abraham, who is considered the father of the Jewish people, and follows the lives of his descendants, including Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. It also covers the period of slavery in Egypt, the Exodus led by Moses, and the journey to the Promised Land. The book then explores the time of the Judges, the reign of King David, and the building of the Temple in Jerusalem. It concludes with the Babylonian exile and the eventual return to Jerusalem. Throughout the book, Guerber provides historical context and insight into the religious beliefs and practices of the Jewish people. The Story of the Chosen People is a comprehensive and accessible account of Jewish history and culture that continues to be a valuable resource for scholars and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
