J. W. Parkes , D.Phil.
In this, the first of a series of six talks on the history of the Jews, Dr. J. W. Parkes will trace the broad sweep of their history from earliest times, when Abraham and his flocks came from Ur of the Chaldees into Palestine, down to the destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem and the Dispersion of the Jews in A.D. 135.
Moses, in leading the Israelites from Egypt and hardening them through the discipline of the wilderness, lays claim to being perhaps the greatest figure in Jewish history. As a result of his leadership the Jews subdued the Philistines and won the Promised Land.
The broadcast follows the story of the two kingdoms of Israel and Judea, through the Captivity, through the Return under Ezra, through the persecutions of Antiochus, and to the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70, which was followed more than sixty years later by the Dispersion.
