Book Review of The Gifts of the Jews : How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels (Hinges of History)

reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


This was an interesting book and a quick read. However, it felt like a synopsis of the Hebrew Scriptures. I wish the author would have spent more time discussing how the Jews "changed the way everyone thinks and feels." It seemed like he was making a great background case and then the book ended rather abruptly. Still a great primer to the history of the ancient world and the Hebrew people.
