The document discusses the historical struggle of the Hebrews for independence, power, and the preservation of their religious and social ideals, beginning with their enslavement in Egypt and culminating in their resistance against Roman oppression. It highlights the development of the first known democratic state and the enduring commitment of the Hebrews to their democratic ideals despite centuries of foreign persecution. The aim of the volume is to provide a clear understanding of the growth and significance of these ideals, supported by contributions from geography and archaeology, while offering guidance for educators and general readers alike.
