Henry Hart Milman’s The History of the Jews (first published in 1829) is a narrative history that traces the Jewish people from the Old Testament patriarchal era of Abraham through the Roman destruction of Jerusalem, extending to their dispersion across medieval and early modern Europe. Pioneering a secular, rationalist approach to biblical scholarship, Milman evaluated scripture through a critical historical lens—treating Abraham as an Eastern tribal leader and contextualizing miracles within natural geography—which stirred considerable religious debate upon its release.
