[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What history of the early Jewish people is there outside of the religious texts? [/quote]

That was my question.... is there a historical/FACTUAL (as in, through archeology and documents transcript maybe) version to this? Of how the Jewish people came about?

I don't want to offend anyone but it seem inevitable - I don't believe there was a guy named Abraham who was sitting around looking at his sheets and soundly "God" came and told him to move to Cannan and that his children would be the chosen children, yah daddah...

I didn't even posted here initially because I wanted to avoid exactly what is happening - the religious discussion of this topic. I just want to know if there is a historical version of how this came about.

Like, the Bible says that the world was created in 7 days and all that Adam and Eve story, but science and history has another version. I want to know if there is the same type of thing regrind he Jewish people.

Yes, as noted above See "The Bible Unearthed"  and  the 2002 NYT article http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/09/books/new-torah-...nds.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm about "New Torah For Modern Minds"

They are not directed to children, but they do address the historical information, vs the religious stories.[/quote]
