Period 6
Thoughts and Reflections on: The Human Story Chapter 3
James C. Davis
On paper, dedicating an entire chapter of a world history textbook to a small nomadic people seems like a bad idea. However, this is not the case when documenting the Hebrews. There are two main reasons why the Hebrews feature so prominently in history books. For one thing, the Hebrews are a perfect example of a people changing and settling down over time. The other reason is that their religion had a massive a lasting impact on the world, and it is important to know how it originated. Given how much influence the Hebrews had from thousands of years ago to modern times, their existence and accomplishments are well worth noting. Furthermore, as the Hebrews were some of the first people to record their history, it provides a rare and valuable insight into the lives of those who lived thousands if years in the past. If this chapter of history is left out of history books, then we cannot fully understand important events which occurred long after the time of Abraham.
