This
provocative 4,000-year survey covers not only Jewish history but the impact of
Jewish genius and imagination on the world. The Jewish invention of ethical monotheism
led to the evolution of Judaism with its democratic philosophy and its notion
of equality under the law. The Jews also played a major role in the creation of
the modern world: in the origin of secular ideas; in the evolution of capitalism,
in the exploration of the psyche; and in the revolutionary development of nineteenth-
and twentieth-century culture. Paul Johnson's book is not only a highly organized
chronological account of these events but also a powerful and sustained analysis
of Jewish emergence and persistence with all its strengths and contradictions.
