Excerpt from The Old Testament Story: Retold for Young People The Bible tells us the story of the Jews and of Jesus Christ. All the Old Testament and almost all the New were written by Jews, and Jesus Christ was born a Jew. The history of the Jews is part of the story of Jesus Christ, because it explains how God prepared the way for Christ, how the teaching of the prophets helped men to understand the words of Christ, and how wealth and poverty, victory and defeat, imperial power and shameful slavery, alike fashioned the Jews to be kinsfolk of the Saviour of the world. The Jews, as we call them, called themselves Israel, or the children of Israel, or, as we should say, the Israelites, and so, in speaking of Old Testament times, we too will call them Israel or the Israelites. In this chapter we go back to the first beginnings of the Bible and of Israel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
