The story of Israel is one of the outstanding tales of human history. Israel, occupying a narrow strip of land between sea and desert, was positioned on an international highway of commerce and warfare. This was a people whose future would be intertwined with the stories of nations great and small.[This book covers] nearly fourteen hundred years from the exodus to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.
