The History of the Ten "Lost" Tribes: Anglo-Israelism Examined

In this concise yet thorough investigation, the author tackles the longstanding claim that the British nation descends from the ten “lost” tribes of Israel. Drawing on a wide range of contemporary and older writings, he systematically dismantles the biblical and historical arguments used by proponents, pointing out where the evidence repeats itself or veers into speculation.

The work is organized as a series of letters, allowing the reader to follow the author’s thought process as he revisits his earlier “Letter to an Inquirer” and expands it with fresh research. He also offers a constructive overview of what is known about the tribes’ actual fate, examines New Testament testimony, and interprets prophetic passages with a critical eye. The result is a balanced, scholarly guide that equips curious listeners to understand the roots of Anglo‑Israelism without getting lost in polemics.
