Anglo Israel

The History of the Ten "Lost" Tribes Anglo-Israelism Examined is a work by David Baron. It aims to show that the Ten Tribes were never lost, but were instead incorporated into Judah.

Thomas Rosling Howlett was a vocal proponent of British Israelism in the 19th century. In this book, he unites and explains the arguments in favor of Anglo-Saxons descending from the ten tribes of Israel. Each chapter consists of a distinct argument in favor of the notion that the original ten tribes of Israel migrated to continental Europe and formed the genesis of the Anglo Saxon peoples. Archaeological findings suggesting links between Celtic and Israelite tribes, references in scripture, and variations accounting for the Scottish and Irish cultures, are among the topics examined. Howlett analyzes the physical characteristics, linguistic structures and nomenclature, traditions, customs, social mores and political traits of both the ancient Israeli tribes and the Anglo Saxon societies. The author makes expansive use of ancient Biblical literature in support of his thesis, concluding each of his chapters with a summarizing poem alluding to both British and Israelite accomplishments and traits. At the time this book was first published in 1892, reviews in the popular press were positive. For the first time, disparate arguments about links between Anglo Saxons and ancient Israel were cogently organized and presented. Subsequent to the publication of these and other books in the field, the British Israelism movement grew in size. Today, organizations such as the British-Israel-World Federation continue to advocate ethno-linguistic and historical research, plus close ties between the UK, USA and Israel. This edition includes Howlett's original text, together with his lengthy supplement further explaining and clarifying Anglo-Israel views.

In the former part of this treatise* we have considered the question of Interpretation. The venerable and learned Robert Ryland, D.D., in a personal letter to the author, dated Lexington, Ky., 6-18-'92, says, first of the book generally: "It is altogether a grand work, costing thought, research, learning and . labor. Part V. is admirable. False systems of interpretation neutralize the word of God, and make it null and void. All this is figurative, say many wise and great men, but ask them what figure it is, and they are silent." We now call attention to a related subject of like importance in threading the labyrinths of history and prophecy concerning Israel; namely, Defini . TION. *P. 91-99. (18) George Dana Boardman, D.D., a master in explicit speech, says: "Definitions are always of supreme consequence. To define is to de-fine; that is--put a finis, set a limit, mark a boundary, circumscribe. Accordingly a definition is as valuable for what it keeps out as for what it lets in. For the truth or the falsehood, the pertinency or impertinency, the worth or the worthlessness, of a discussion depends on the definitions with which it starts." Attention to the terms, designating respectively the two parties into which the Hebrews were...
