About this Item

NEW COPY w/trace push to lower back spine corner and light discoloration to yellow softcover. 465 pages. Les Grandes Etudes Historiques series. Daniel-Rops is the pseudonym of French writer and historian Henri Petiot (1901 - 1965). "Sacred History: The People of the Bible" is a work of great scholarship. History of Israel in contact and conflict with the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Babylonia, Egypt, and Greece, the volume traces the destiny of Israel --- how a small nomad people acquired a metaphysical mission and brought the idea of monotheism to a polytheistic world. Written with the intention to show fundamental nature of German persecution of the Jews, the original plates of the book were destroyed by the Gestapo within weeks of its publication in 1943; book was reset and reissued in Paris after liberation. Thorough study of the religious, political, social and cultural history of the Jewish people from Abraham through the birth of Jesus Christ. Seller Inventory # 014863
