This book is intended to supplement the Short History of the Hebrews in which the author dealt with the development of religion in Israel. No attempt is made herein to exhaustively deal with the theology of the Old Testament, but to set forth a general outline of the course of Israel's spiritual history.

In this book, originally published in 1905, Ottley supplements his 1901 text, A Short History of the Hebrews, with a study on the development of religion in ancient Israel from Mosaic times to the beginning of Christianity. The interactions between Judaism and other religions during periods of subjugation and exile are also considered, as well as the impact such times had on Judaism's perception of itself. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of Judaism and its place in the ancient world.

In this book, first published in 1901, Ottley chronicles the development of the Jewish people from the first accounts in Genesis to the reign of King Herod the Great in the late 1st century BCE. Ottley's history includes seven maps of relevant biblical territories as well as chronological tables comparing developments among the Jews with those of contemporaneous ancient civilizations and a list of documentary sources. This book will be of use to anyone with an interest in Jewish history and in the history of the ancient world.
