David Baron's history of the lost tribes of Israel sees the scholar compare established Biblical facts with the conjecture and ideas of the Anglo-Israel movement.
Baron seeks to refute the arguments of the Anglo-Israel movement. Also known as British Israelism, this group advanced the notion that Jewish people were related to the Anglo-Saxon peoples who were the progenitors of the British nation. The author refers to scripture and to established Biblical history, casting much doubt onto the notion that the Jewish tribes migrated as far as Northern Europe.
A lucid and eloquent account informed by the author's intensive study into the Biblical theology, Baron's history offers a sound summation of the circumstances of the world before and during the time of Jesus Christ. With a close analysis of the ethnic situation and the society of the era, the reader is given a clear picture of how the Jews lived, and are persuaded as to why the conclusions of Anglo-Israelism are fundamentally unsound.
David Baron was a scholar and author. Born to a Jewish family, he lived for much of his life in London, where he underwent a conversion to Hebrew Christianity. Through books and essays, he promoted understanding between Jews and Christians, while offering a series of studies which demystify aspects of the faiths and the holy texts.
