A vivid, scholarly yet highly readable journey through the formative centuries of the Hebrew people.
Drawing on biblical sources, archaeological discoveries, and historical research, Daniel-Rops traces the unfolding story of Israel—from the patriarchs and the Exodus to the rise of the monarchy, the prophets, the Exile, and the complex world that shaped the dawn of Christianity.
Rich in cultural, religious, and political insight, this work provides an accessible and authoritative narrative for readers interested in the ancient Near East, biblical history, and the roots of Western spiritual tradition.
