The Jewish Question...

[bfrank]

Does anyone know of any good reading making the arguments for modern-day Jews not descending from the 12 tribes?

No, but I can tell you that there are those that claim they can trace their lineage back to the days of Christ.

Do a google on Ted Pike and the national prayer network. He's hung up on some of that stuff. You might get some info from him.

For one, Arthur Koestler's book The Thirteenth Tribe.

I thought physical / genetic descendency doesn't matter anyway? When the temple was destroyed, it marked the end of the Old Covenant, and even for the diaspora, the old Jewish religion was kaput.

Burt, I keep a spare copy or two of Koestler around to give to dispensationalists just watch their heads explode when they realize that Olmert may not be a son af Abraham (in any sense).

Well, I guess Koestler will go on the book list...
