A sweeping work of historical narrative, Diaspora: The Post-Biblical History of the Jews chronicles over two thousand years of Jewish life, persecution, resilience, and cultural achievement across the globe. Werner Keller traces the Jewish people's journey from the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem through the medieval expulsions, the horrors of the Holocaust, and the eventual founding of the modern State of Israel. Written with the same authoritative and accessible clarity that distinguished Keller's celebrated The Bible as History, the narrative presents a rich tapestry of communities scattered across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond, illustrating how a people without a homeland preserved their identity, faith, and traditions against extraordinary odds. Keller argues that the story of the Jewish diaspora is not merely a chronicle of suffering, but a testament to an enduring civilization that shaped the moral and intellectual fabric of the Western world. This monumental work stands as an essential resource for readers seeking a comprehensive and humanizing account of one of history's most remarkable peoples.
