The History of the Hebrew Commonwealth
Albert Edward Bailey,Professor Charles Foster Kent
- With Maps and Illustrations. From the Preface: No chapter in human history is more thrilling than that which records the long struggle of the Hebrews for independence, for a home, for power, for their religious and social ideals and for the perpetuation of their institutions. It begins with their grinding industrial enslavement by Egypt and ends with the heroic though vain effort to break the iron shackles of Rome. In the face of bitter opposition they developed the first democratic state known to history. Through centuries of foreign oppression and persecution they clung to their democratic ideals until at last the whole world is beginning to appreciate and appropriate them. The aim in this volume is to present the facts that are essential to a clear understanding of the growth and meaning of these ideals and of the matchless literature that records them.
