About the author

Joseph Ernest Renan was a French expert of Middle East ancient languages and civilizations (philology), philosopher, historian, and writer, devoted to his native province of Brittany. He is best known for his influential historical works on early Christianity, and his political theories, especially concerning nationalism and national identity. Renan is credited as being among the first scholars to advance the Khazar theory, which held that Ashkenazi Jews were descendants of Turkic peoples who had adopted Jewish religion and migrated to Western Europe following the collapse of their khanate.

Reviews

[Andre · Rating 1 out of 5]

The translation is way too heavy for a modern reader. Or maybe this is just a really difficult book to read. I'd love to find something akin to these volumes as I appreciate the huge scope. The treatment of the historical figures and times are super interesting for a lay person interested in theology or Western philosophy. This may be a book I purchase hard copies to pick up and flip through over the years.
