"do interesting to see how many desperate times the Jews have thought a Messiah finally surfaced only to be misled;fascinating study of their struggle and perseveranace"
"A novelist's view of a complex religious history: combines bibilical scholarship, archeology, and imagination. Really interesting. Reading my Revised Standard Bible in conjunction."
"I haven't actually read this book completely through. I started it, but it was too boring. It is a non-ficion about the beginnings of the Jewish religion. It was interesting for a while, but then I got distracted by other books and so I quit reading it."
