Israel

Lately, I have been reading up on end time prophecy regarding Israel and Jerusalem. I finished 2 books and it taught me alot about Israels history. Does anyone know of more books about Israel's history but not necessarily regarding end times?

If you're looking for ancient history outside of the Bible accounts you might want to look at [url=http://www.ccel.org/ccel/josephus/works/files/works.html]The Works of Flavius Jospehus[/url]

This is very extensive history from creation to around A.D. 90.

I would heartily recommend [url=http://www.amazon.com/History-Jews-Paul-M-Johnson/dp/0060915331/sr=8-8/qid=1170949973/ref=sr_1_8/002-1224664-8453623?ie=UTF8&s=books]A History of the Jews[/url] by Paul Johnson. Johnson is a Catholic and very right wing and very sympathetic to things Jewish and Israeli but I think he writes very objectively on this. He is not a Bible believer so his comments on the Biblical history of the Jews will not impress you. He is well regarded historian/journalist over here in the UK and this book is a real eye-opener.

His tracing of the cycles of antisemitism is very moving and you leave the book with a feeling of admiration and wonder for this extraordinary race. You can get a little idea of the book's style from excerpts on the Amazon website. Open the book on the Amazon website and give the 'Surprise me' button a few clicks.

WOW! So many sources to choose from! I appreciate all the recomendations and will definitely look into all of them.
Thanks!

I've been reading some of Alfred Edersheim's books. If you do a search for him on the internet you can find most of his books online.
