ePub Keeping the Faith: African-American Sermons of Liberation by James Haskins in History

Description

How does this Jewish history book differ from all others? Instead of burdening the reader with endless details about every single aspect of Jewish history; Pasachoff and Littman provide essential information; easily digested by readers of all ages; that chronicles only the major events and people of the past. The history of the Jews covers a period of over 3;500 years; with an overwhelming number of countries and lands. It is a microcosm of the history of the world. Consequently; even a one-volume work can be difficult to read from cover to cover to gain the sweep of Jewish history. This book speaks to the reader who is interested in individual topics or periods and wants a quick-reference guide to the people and places that truly shaped Jewish history. At the same time; if read from beginning to end; these 'nutshells' will provide a chronological history of the Jews.
