About this listen

A history of Israelite and early Jewish history, from the time of the Bible to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 C.E.


The series was originally created in 2009-10. Due to hosting issues, the availability of new tools, and continuing interest in the topic, I have decided to relaunch it. The content remains the same.


In the time since I created it, I have changed my mind to some extent. You can find my more current thinking in my book, How the Bible Became Holy (Yale University Press).


I strive to make my work free, accessible, and without advertising. Hence, I depend on listener support and generosity to continue to do so. If you feel you have receive something of value from it, please considering making a donation through the link on the homepage of http://www.mlsatlow.com.
