View of the Hebrews

Tribes of Israel in America

De: Ethan Smith

Narrado por: Josiah Stonehill

View of the Hebrews is a book written by American Congregationalist minister Ethan Smith and first published in 1823.

This book presents a theory (widely held in the 1820s religious community) that Native Americans are descended from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel and suggests that the similarities between Native American and Jewish customs, as well as archaeological evidence, support this theory. The book also argues that the lost tribes of Israel would eventually be restored to their homeland in Palestine along with those of the tribe of Judah.

View of the Hebrews was a popular book in its time and a second edition was published two years later in 1825. View of the Hebrews was identified by Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint General Authority B. H. Roberts as a possible source of inspiration for the Book of Mormon, and scholars continue to search its chapters in a search for additional insight.

Great narration

The narrator did a great job keeping me engaged. it's dense material and I think he did a great job rekindling this classic.

Interesting

This book are exactly like the Book of Mormon! I’ve heard a lot of this coincide between this two books, but knowing that the view of the Hebrews came before them the Book of Mormon…
