Title: Informative, Educational, AND Entertaining
Review: I found this to be a very worthwhile book to purchase and read. I converted to Catholicism a few years ago and feel that this book definitely helps me understand the roots that Christianity grew from. Unlike Isaac Asimov's Guide to the Old Testament which focuses more on the physical placement and names of tribes, lands, and battles, Mr. Cahill explores the psychological development of a people and their view of the universe and their lives. Humorus descriptions (Sodom and the Night of the Living Dead for example)are enjoyable and don't detract from his narrative. At the end, one realizes that the gifts that were given us were indeed immense and affect us every day. I highly recommend this book, no matter what your beliefs are, it can be enjoyed by all.
