Thomas Cahill's historical texts blend humor, history, and magnificent storytelling. This text discusses the beginning of monotheism with narrative accounts of historical figures. Easy-to-read and informative. Take a tour through thre Bible. Look at faith from a historical perspective. Moving account of the Abraham and Isaac story. The Jews taught us compassion,which Karen Armstrong notes as the theme encompassed in the major religions. Their legacy of respect for the individual is clear. I found myself reading and rereading because I wanted to remember how much of our lives have been shaped by Judaism.
