Biblical Truth,
By Betmatrho "Hiberia" (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biblical Truth: The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel in the West According to the Book of Genesis (Paperback)
Yair Davidiy is an expert in his field and well respected around the world - his book on "Biblical Truth: The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel in the West, according to the Book of Genesis" is suberb in identifying the tribes of Israel. It is in my collection.

Almost, but not quite,
By Heldenbaer1 (Minneapolis, MN. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biblical Truth: The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel in the West According to the Book of Genesis (Paperback)
Part of the problem with books of this kind, is that shoddy scholarship relies on the work of others, to continually propagate the same points of view. One cannot fault the Christian Identity folk for wanting to point out that the Royal House of Britain has done extensive research to show their lineage goes back to King David (so they say), but when the latest corroborative resource is over 100 years old, one begins to tire of this sort of thing.
That is why I looked with some scepticism to this book, and hoped that here, (as Christ said) 'would be an Israelite with no guile.' Sadly, such is not the case. Mr. Davidiy is a Jew, and (from the readings and quotes from Talmudic sources) a 'devout' one at that. So, already there is a 'great gulf fixed' between the 'Israel of God' [Gal 6:16] and the false one- namely, modern occupied Palestine. For what Davidiy tries (and fails) to do, is to (yet again!) make a straw man case for the old canard, 'The Jews are the Chosen People.' But history, the proclamations of the Seven Ecumenical Councils, and the works of three compatriots (Jews themselves, who have converted to REAL Christianity, or who were more honest than Davidiy) have shown such not to be the case: Benjamin Freedman, whose articles and speeches from the 1950's and early '60's are online, but specifically his article, 'Jesus was not a Jew'. Then there is the British Jewish author, Arthur Koestler, whose book 'The Thirteenth Tribe,' from 1976, clearly shows that the Ashkenazis are in no way, connected to the Biblical Davidic people they purport to be the heirs to! Also, the (part) Jew Michael Bradley, whose work, starting with 'The Iceman Inheritance' also corroborates this historical fact on his blog. And finally, Schlomo Sand, and his book, 'The Invention of the Jewish People' completely denies even the veracity of the Old Testament, but in doing so, leaves no leg for modern secualarist Jews in [sic] Israel to stand on, when they claim either primacy with God, or 'the right to Israel.' Davidiy (and his rabbinic advisors) have been very shrewd, to try and establish themselves on a 'religious' basis for this same 'Chosen People' claim with one of the few contenders who have historically been less than believing that Jews, too, are among the "Ten Lost Tribes." Frankly, for an Anglo-European, who knows and respects Church History, this book offers almost nothing to the thinking man, who desires to know 'the rock from which he was hewn,' as Scriptures say.
