A few words of explanation are needed by way of preface to this little book. More than twenty years ago, being often appealed to by friends for my judgment on Anglo-Israelism, or to answer questions which were addressed to me on this subject, I finally, after making myself acquainted with the positions and arguments by which the theory is supported, drew up a statement in the form of A Letter to an Inquirer. This Letter, somewhat amplified, was printed in the form of an appendix in my book, The Ancient Scriptures and the Modern Jew, whence by special request it was subsequently reprinted in pamphlet form under the title, Anglo-Israelism, and the True History of the Ten Lost Tribes-a separate edition of it having also been published in America. This pamphlet is now out of print, and, being appealed to by prominent Christian friends to bring out a new edition, I felt constrained before doing so to re-examine the whole question anew, and more thoroughly than before. To this end I have read through, with much inward pain I must confess, a number of the more recent Anglo-(or British)-Israel publications, which for the most part are mere repetitions of one another. The result is the treatise now in the reader's hands, which will be found to consist of three Parts.

Rick Richardson takes us back in time from the fall of man, to the Abrahamic covenant, the kingdom of Israel, and the separation of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel from the southern kingdom of Judah. He explores the Messianic Age and notes that this will only happen once Israel is redeemed, turns back to God and the Ten Lost Tribes return to their homeland. "Redemption of the Lost Tribes" cuts through myths and misunderstandings carried over the years regarding the End-Time prophecies with great Biblical exposition. Pacific Book Review

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.

THE TEMPLE AND THE LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL addresses two main prophecies that must occur before the return of Christ. First, the lost tribes of Israel must be located in order for all Israel to be saved. Second, Gentile Christians must help Israel build the Temple in its ancient and proper location. These two missions begin to bring all Israel to faith in Jesus. And so, all Israel will be Saved (Romans 11:26).

There have been many legends and traditions regarding the ten lost tribes of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. This book draws upon extensive discoveries and information published regarding the movement of the People of Israel and Judah from Davidic times to the dawn of the Hellenistic period. The author has tested the biblical records against archaeological evidence, testimony and inscriptions found in Syria, Assyria, Babylon and Persia. In very many cases, the inscriptions excavated in these places coincide almost word for word with the biblical record. The early chapters also investigate evidence of migrations and movement by people to neighbouring countries by reason of seeking sanctuary, trade, marriage or in times of famine. Evidence has been found supporting the theory that many of the Northern Captives joined the tribes of the South who continued to live independently until the destruction of the First Temple. Hence it is not just a matter of investigating the transfer of captives out of Judah and the Northern Kingdom but also additional evidence found in the Bible or documents that bear evidence to Jewish people who lived, traded or served in various capacities in other lands. There is also some clear indication that many of the later captives joined their brethren who had been exiled to other lands earlier. The later chapters mention some traditions and legends that exist among many tribes that to this day trace their origins to the Exiles who belonged to the twelve tribes of Israel and Judah.
