Jews, God and History: Second Edition Paperback - 2003
by Max I. Dimont
Now updated and broadened, this acclaimed book spans centuries and circles the globe to tell the astounding 4,000-year story of the Jewish people and their triumphant contributions to the history of Asia, Europe, and America.
Summary
How have the Jews survived through so many millennia while other civilizations have declined and perished? What qualities mark the culture that has produced Moses, Christ, Spinoza, Marx, Freud, and Einstein? From ancient Palestine through Europe and the Orient, to America and modern Israel, Max I. Dimont shows how the saga of the Jews is interwoven with the story of virtually every nation on earth. This is a tale of a people escaping annihilation, fighting, falling back, advancing—a lively and fascinating look at how the Jews have contributed to humankind’s spiritual and intellectual heritage in remarkable ways, and across a remarkable span of history.
First line
There are nearly five and a half billion people on this earth, of whom less than eighteen million-less than one third of one percent-are classified as Jews.

Media reviews
“More interesting than the facts Dimont has collected…is the fascinating reasoning of a bright and unorthodox mind.”—San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle
“A book of life and hope. There are few greater documents to the vitality and perseverance of Man than this history of the Jews.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch
“Done with warmth and vitality. Written for laymen by a scholarly layman who has a passion for his theme.”—Max Lerner
“By far the liveliest popular history of the Jewish people that I have ever read. In many ways, a strikingly original synthesis of Jewish history.”—Richard B. Morris, author of The Forging of the Union, 1781–1789 and Witnesses at the Creation
