The Source presents a sweeping historical novel that chronicles the evolution of Jewish civilization through the fictional archaeological site of Makor in Israel. This two-volume set details the lives of characters across centuries—from ancient Canaanite settlers and Roman occupiers to medieval rabbis and modern Zionists—illustrating how faith, identity, and survival shaped a people’s destiny. Michener argues that history is best understood through the layered stories of individuals, each era building upon the last in a continuum of cultural memory. The narrative instructs readers in the political, spiritual, and social forces that forged Judaism and the modern Middle East.
