    	Has anybody read "The History of The Jews' by Paul Johnson ?
    	If so.......any opinions ? His previous book was 'The History of
   	Chistianity'. The reviews I've read seem to be quite positive.

|     I'm reading it now. Granted, I know very little about jewish history,
    but this book does seem to give an objective and favorable and very
    detailed account of the jews over 4000 years. I am particularly
    impressed with Johnson's abililty to put his information in context at
    seemingly every point. You must be furhter along than I am. Any
    comments?
