Features: This is a renowned work by American historical and cultural scholar Thomas Cahill (The Jewish People and Their History) on the Jews and biblical culture. It delves into the mysterious and ethereal prehistoric legends, the enigmatic prehistoric remains of the Hebrews, the profound, complex, and vividly rich Bible and biblical culture, as well as groundbreaking archaeological discoveries and explorations. Through incisive and compelling analysis and arguments, the book draws the startling conclusion that the Jews, this bizarre and wandering people, are indeed the ancestors of the West; as the religious experience of the Jews, the Bible has become the cornerstone of Western civilization; and the worldview of the Jews has permeated every cell of Western thought and spirit like genetic code. From this, we can appreciate the author's insightful historical perspective, unique thoughts, cultural historical angle, and the lively, alternating narrative and commentary with both solemn and humorous touches.
