Description:Well known for his historical and archaeological studies and writings -- especially on the Hittite problem -- the author of this volume relates the social history of mankind, as thus far enriched by modern research. Early man, civilization, historic religions, the Hebrews, and historic Christianity are the material of his successive chapters. While compends are often juiceless, this bird's-eye view of a vast field gives interesting distinctness to a large variety of important details. It may be accepted in the main as sufficiently accurate, though more recent research and criticism occasionally correct it. Colonel Conder reports Asia as the earliest home of civilization, and "no chronology before the foundation of Babylon in 2250 B.C." Egypt is now to be assigned the precedence, whose chronology gives an ascertained date more than a millennium earlier-the earliest date in history, as Professor Breasted tells us. Colonel Conder's standpoint is that of a broadminded Christian student, to whom history shows an eternal purpose increasingly manifest in human progress, and who regards every advance of knowledge as contributory to the purifying and strengthening of religious faith. --The New Outlook, Vol. 89We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
