Cahill offers us a unique perspective on the context of the times in which all of the Bible stories which we are each familiar with would have happened---his research, and especial ability to translate the ancient languages firsthand, bring to this book a real picture of what life then would have been like. I found myself expanding my horizons and understandings of the contexts in which the 4 New Testament gospels were written, and the view that the ancients would have held on the Old Testament books. Very enlightening--a recommended read whether one's interst is historical only, or historical and religious.
