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. First published in 1963; Israel and the Nations has achieved wide recognition as an excellent introduction to the history of Israel. This new edition; carefully revised by David F. Payne; includes some new material and a revised bibliography.
