Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Charming and poetic... an entirely engaging, delectable voyage into the distant past. . .a small treasure.” —New York Times Book Review
“A lovely tale…graceful and instructive.” —Los Angeles Times
“He exalts his ancient subject; their hearts, minds and experienes resonate in his compelling contemporary narrative.” —Chicago Tribune
“Thomas Cahill places the spiritual journey of biblical-era Jewry firmly in a historical context while simultaneously making it come alive in a way that is almost sensory in its immediacy.” —Jewish Journal
“Thomas Cahill looks at history with the rigor of a scholar but explains it simply with the skill of a gifted teacher. . .He conveys with a fresh lens a legacy 'so much a part of us' that we scarcely recognize it.” —Jewish Bulletin
“Cahill argues that the greatest gifts of the Jews are the linear theory of history (vs. the cyclical theory of other ancients), with its implication that life can get better and avoid decline, and the idea of the equality and dignity of each individual that culminated in the declaration that ‘all men are created equal.’ Other gifts include the concepts of universal brotherhood, peace, and justice.” —Library Journal
“In an age crowded with bloated, pedantic tomes, Cahill offers a refreshingly succinct, illuminating, and readable summary of the Hebrew bible’s enduring wisdom and influence.” —Kirkus Reviews
