EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW AND A FEW MORE THINGS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
ONE DOES NOT NEED TO SPEND TO MUCH TIME TRYING TO RESEARCH THE BIBLE AS LONG AS YOU CAN FIND A COPY OF THIS BOOK. IF YOU READ FIVE PAGES YOU'RE HOOKED. REALLY CUTS TO THE CHASE AND DESCRIBES THE LIFE, TIMES AND AGENDAS OF THE DIFFERENT FACTIONS OF THAT ERA. 2-3 THOUSAND YEARS AGO. HISTORY BEING WHAT IT IS, NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT THEY READ IN BOOKS ANYHOW, AND YOU HAVE TO TRUST THE AUTHOR, VAN LOON'S OBSERVATIONS ARE SCHOLARLY AND HUMANIST YET HE DOESN'T PREACH TO THE READER. FUN BOOK TO READ AS IS IT'S CLOSE COMPANION "TOLERANCE" BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
