Описание: When I decided to write this book, my intention was not to undermine faith. I recognized that tens of thousands of years ago man already felt the need to construct a representation of a higher power to which he willingly submitted. Believing in something collective and unifying is a fundamental aspect of the human condition. This book is not an attempt to contradict this notion, but rather to develop a deeper understanding of it. My aim is to offer renewed scrutiny and focus on the continuing legacy of fear and hatred among the world's three Abrahamic faiths. How much longer will the leaders of the Abrahamic-based religions believe that they can continue to mislead the faithful, while the major eastern religions and philosophies continue to thrive in peace. Needless to say, the Bible is here to stay. However, the survival of the Abrahamic religions will only be possible if kinder, more enlightened interpretations and fundamental reforms are adopted.
Who were the early ancestors of East European Ashkenazic Jews, how were they related to the biblical Israelites/Judeans, and when and from where did they arrive in Eastern Europe? This book intends to answer these questions, but first it discusses some of the important questions that are neglected in the literature but important in the author’s work such as the ethnic composition of Canaan/Palestine and the switch from a patrilineal system (Israelites/Judeans) to a matrilineal one including converts (Jews).
The author also discusses more present-day topics such as whether it is possible to determine if someone is (Ashkenazic) Jewish and a descendant of the biblical Israelites based on a genetic profile, and whether Ashkenazic Jews are more Jewish than Indian or Ethiopian Jews. Jits van Straten argues that the answer is negative in both cases, based on the official definition of who is a Jew. Finally, it is shown why East European Ashkenazis speak Yiddish without originating from a German-speaking region.
