Customer Reviews

Great overview, with remarkable details, images, charts etc.

I love this book, after only a short browse as it assists greatly in situating people, places, events & content of the Jewish peoples over thousands of years. As a Christian Bible lecturer, the information in this book is an ideal support, inspiration & background for my work.

The Timechart History of Jewish Civilization

This book is full of information. The quality and contents are way beyond what I ever imagined. It will make a wonderful gift for someone who is into geneology or the study of Judaism. And the price! What a bargain!!!!!

Wonderful Presentation.

Purchased as a gift - and the recipient really loved it. If you are into Jewish History, this book is a must.

Timechart History of Jewish Civilization

The cover, binding and pages are all in NEW condition and it is a beautiful reference, gift or interesting book to browse or read at intervals. It's not too voluminous to daunt the reader and is full of fold-out charts and other chronological information. Makes a nice gift (Bar/Bat Mitzvah?) or an important addition to one's own library.

Wonderful design, extremely informative, one more problem

Like the other reviewer, I take issue with one element of the book: On the timeline, Jesus is referred to as "Jesus Christ." The neutral way to refer to the historical figure is just by his name, "Jesus," leaving off the word "Christ" which is not his name but rather means (edit:) "Messiah" -- hardly appropriate for a Jewish book! The issues of modern Zionism and the Palestinians can hardly be dealt with in all their complexities in the tiny space available in this book, and so I don't really have a problem with the treatment -- it's clearly a cursory overview; I don't think it's part of the massive left-wing conspiracy or whatever. Those interested in a more in-depth treatment would do well to seek out "Timetables of Jewish History." -Y.
