I would give it a 4/5 but I'm docking a star because it's getting out of date. This is especially apparent with the archaeology section wherein it's referred to as a "new science". For perspective, W. Albright's revolutionary work in Biblical archaeology was published less than 10 years before this book. Also, there are some questionable ethnic generalizations. E.G. the author claims the Jews became especially good a merchandising because of the Babylonian captivity (cue Yogurt from Spaceballs). You could get away with that in '62 but not so much nowadays.
Assessment: Good as a general timeline and basic overview of Hebrew history, but it's not aging well.
3.0/5… (altro)
