Title: An easy read, but unfortunately limited to ancient times.
Review: Certainly a readable overview of bible stories and their impact on the worldview (monotheism, the idea of progress etc.).However, it seems the Jews didn't do anything worthwhile after about 500 BC. And even then they were seriously backsliding. Just waiting for a saviour I guess.I would have liked to see at least a brief section on how Jews have continued to influence civilization in the past 2000 years . . . eg. providing some of the leading thinkers of Modern times and playing an important role in defining American (thus world) popular culture.
