A Short History of Babylon de Karen Radner

A Short History of Babylon: Short Histories

Autor Karen Radner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 feb 2020
Much of our perception of Babylon in the West is filtered through the poignant echoes of loss and longing that resonate in the Hebrew Bible. The lamenting exiles of Judah craved a return to their lost homeland after the sack of Jerusalem in 587 BC and their forcible removal by Nebuchadnezzar to the alien floodlands of the Euphrates. But to see Babylon only as an adjunct to Old Testament history is misleading. A Short History of Babylon explores the ever-changing city that shaped world history for two millennia.

There are illustrations in color and black-and-white, maps, and excerpts from primary sources. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels.
In an easily readable style, R. relates Babylon's history.
