Period 6
Thoughts and Reflections on: The Human Story Chapter 3
James C. Davis
The history of the Hebrews is known to be some of the earliest recorded history, first passed down by word of mouth and then written down some one thousand years later. But how accurate is the information recorded in the Bible? The answer is, there is no way to know for sure. Some history books may not include much history of the Hebrews because it is unknown how accurate this information is. While the Hebrews proved to be very influential, some may be loath to report information provided by a source which may not be entirely credible. Some would argue that the job of a history book is to report factual and credible information, and if there is no way of verifying that the information is correct, then it makes sense that some publishers would choose to leave out such information.
