Project Gutenberg 2013-12-11 Public domain in the USA. 388 Harris, Maurice H. (Maurice Henry) 1859 1930 A Thousand Years of Jewish History From the days of Alexander the Great to the Moslem Conquest of Spain E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Julia Neufeld, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Thousand Years of Jewish History" by Maurice H. Harris is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work spans over a millennium, focusing on Jewish history from the time of Alexander the Great to the Muslim Conquest of Spain. Harris explores the evolution of the Jewish people, highlighting significant events, figures, and the development of religious and cultural identity amidst challenges and changes in governance. The opening portion of the work introduces the reader to the historical context following the return of the Jews to Judea after the Babylonian exile. It discusses the challenges faced under Persian rule, particularly political silence and restrictions on their statehood, juxtaposed with a flourishing of religious life and legalism that defined post-exilic Judaism. The chapters reveal the significant role of figures such as Ezra and Nehemiah in rebuilding the Temple and establishing religious law, setting the stage for an exploration of subsequent interactions with Greek and Roman influences, as well as internal strife within the Jewish community itself. This foundational context promises a deep and engaging narrative of survival, adaptation, and faith throughout Jewish history.
