3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but fatally flawed,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Jewish World in the Time of Jesus (History of Civilization) (Hardcover)
This was a good book with a lot of useful information, but, like so many similar works, it was written under the assumption that the Bible is not the Word of God, that the prophets were not really prophets, and that Jesus was nothing more than a man, a product of his times. Guignebert was the victim of his own circular reasoning: "Such and such book must have been written around the 4th century BC because it expresses ideas that evolved in Hebrew thought at that time...We know that these ideas evolved in Hebrew thought around the 4th century because such and such book, which was written at that time, illustrates the development of those ideas." If you can read through his assumptions to find the solid facts, this is a valuable book. For an unbeliever he treated his subject with an extraordinary amount of respect.
