Title: Intriguing Thesis Gone Wrong
Review: Dr. Shlain has an intriguing thesis. However, his attempts at supporting it go from somewhat plausible to rather ridiculous. His explanations of characteristcs of left and right brain were commendable, but I could hardly contain my annoyance when he began descriptions of how Christian religion proves his thesis. Dr. Shlain clearly does not understand Christianity, nor are his facts about the history of the Jewish people around the time of the Exodus accurate. This book is perhaps worth reading, and certainly its arguments are compelling, but the evidence does not come together.
