Seasonal British comedy sequel starring David Tennant, Pam Ferris
and Jessica Hynes. Neurotic newly-qualified teacher Mr Peterson
(Tennant) starts a new job at an under-achieving school and soon
finds himself juggling his heavy workload with a wildly
unconventional classroom assistant, a group of delinquent kids and
his own very pregnant wife. The pressure mounts still further when
he somehow becomes embroiled in a madcap plan to enter the National
'Song for Christmas' Competition and finds himself embarking on the
craziest road trip of his life.
This famous book by preacher and theologian Ethan Smith puts forth
the notion that the Native American tribes are descended from the
Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The idea that the distant forebears of
the Native American tribes had somehow arrived in North America
long ago from Israel, perhaps during the Great Flood described in
the Biblical Old Testament, was a popular belief in the USA during
the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Lacking an alternative
explanation for the tribal peoples, the preachers of the era
advanced this Israelite theory, which gained currency especially
among pious Christians in the fledgling United States. Concepts
that Ethan Smith and others advanced were later discredited by
anthropologists, who determined that ancestors of the Native
American peoples had in fact migrated across the frozen plains of
Alaska. Despite being disproven by later research, View of the
Hebrews remains interesting for insights into popular beliefs and
suppositions of religious scholars at the time.
