At a Glance

Revised By: David F. Payne

Full title: Israel and the Nations:  The History of Israel from the Exodus to the Fall of the Second Temple

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.

F. F. Bruce shapes the daunting complexities of this history, nearly fourteen hundred years from the exodus to the destruction of Jerusalem in a.d. 70, into straight prose that sparkles with clarity. More than half of the book is devoted to the postexilic history of Israel, the “intertestamental” period and the first-century history that forms the backdrop of the New Testament.

“An excellent sketch of the history of Israel, written with a splendid clarity,” said biblical scholar John Bright.
