Title: The history of the Jews is not mythology
Review: After ready Mr. Cahill's book on the Irish, I was very anxious for this book on the history of the Jews. What a dissappointment. Mr. Cahill routinely discounts the narrative history of the Jews presented in the Bible as mythology and he does so without good reason. It's clear that his understanding of Jewish history is limited to the interpretation given by such secular "scholars" (heavy sarcasm) as Joseph Campbell. In the preface Mr. Campbell says this is the 2nd of a six part series. Hopefully, he will refrain from tackling early Christian history from the mythological approach. So much good stuff missed due to a lack of understanding on the author's part. Dissappointment is the only adjective to describe this work. Too bad.
