Christopher Columbus by Mike Evans - 2014: Secret Jew

2014. Hardback. New. Most people learn about Christopher Columbus at a young age, being told of his legendary travels across the Atlantic and his discovery of a New World-'in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.' But what most people don't know is that Columbus' voyage to find new lands had an even deeper purpose than the ostensible motives of expanding upon trade opportunities and building wealth. The personal logs that Columbus kept reveal a more heroic and inspired mission of finding a vast land where both Christianity and Judaism could dwell together, and where those of the Jewish religion could escape the horrors brought on by the Spanish Inquisition. In Mike Evans' latest book, Columbus, Secret Jew, you'll delve into the dreams and plans of a man determined to find a refuge for the Jewish people and whose mission was even being funded by those he was trying to protect.
