Synopsis
A narrative history of the Jewish people, written by the best-selling author of "How the Irish Saved Civilization". Cahill understands the real significance of the Jews in world history to be not merely as the originators of monotheism, but as the first people to understand the notion of history itself--the first to view time as a linear narrative in which action is irrevocable and significant.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Somewhat more than five millenia ago, a human hand first carved a written word, and so initiated history, mankind's recorded story."
Industry Reviews
"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."
Kummer
"Frankly celebratory, at times indulging in flights of hyperbole. Cahill's book is badly in need of a critical edge."
