British Israelism
British Israelism (also called Anglo-Israelism) is a pseudo-historical belief that the people of Great Britain are "genetically, racially, and linguistically the direct descendants" of the Ten Lost Tribes of ancient Israel. With roots in the 16th century, British Israelism was inspired by several 19th century English writings such as John Wilson's 1840 ''Our Israelitish Origin''. From the 1870s onward, numerous independent British Israelite organizations were set up throughout the British Empire as well as in the United States; as of the early 21st century, a number of these organizations are still active. In the United States, the idea gave rise to the Christian Identity movement. The central tenets of British Israelism have been refuted by archaeological, ethnological, genetic, and linguistic research. History Earliest recorded expressions According to Brackney (2012) and Fine (2015), the French Huguenot magistrate M. le Loyer's ''The Ten Lost Tribes'', published in 15 ...

Edward Hine
Edward Hine (10 February 1825 – 15 October 1891) was an influential proponent of British Israelism in the 1870s and 1880s, drawing on the earlier work of Richard Brothers (1794) and John Wilson (1840). Hine went so far as to conclude, "It is an utter impossibility for England ever to be defeated. And this is another result arising entirely from the fact of our being Israel." Career A bank clerk by occupation, Hine claimed that he had been inspired by a lecture given by Wilson, which he heard at the age of 15, but he himself did not publish on the topic for nearly thirty years, giving his first public lecture in 1869. For several years Hine published a weekly journal, ''The Nation's Leader,'' and a monthly magazine, ''Life from the Dead'' (from 1873 onwards). In 1880, Hine founded his own British Israel organization, "The British-Israel Identity Corporation." David Baron in his ''The History of the Ten "Lost" Tribes'' cites claims identifying Hine himself with the "Deliverer" a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
