Desire of the Everlasting Hills [Secure eReader (recommended)/Microsoft Reader/Adobe]
by Thomas Cahill
|
|
 In Desire of the Everlasting Hills, Thomas Cahill takes up his most daring and provocative subject yet: Jesus of Nazareth, the central figure of Western civilization. Introducing us first to "the people Jesus knew," Thomas Cahill describes the oppressive Roman political presence, the pervasive Greek cultural influence, and especially the widely varied social and religious context of the Judaism in which Jesus moved and flourished. We see Jesus as a real person, sharp-witted and sharp-tongued, bu... more info>>

by Thomas Cahill
|
|
From the fall of Rome to the rise of Charlemagne--the "dark ages"--learning, scholarship, and culture disappeared from the European continent. The great heritage of western civilization--from the Greek and Roman classics to Jewish and Christian works--would have been utterly lost were it not for the holy men and women of unconquered Ireland. In this delightful and illuminating look into a crucial but little-known "hinge" of history, Thomas Cahill takes us to the "island of saints and scholars," ... more info>>

The Gifts of the Jews [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/Adobe]
by Thomas Cahill
|
|
The premise of The Gifts of the Jews is simple but bold: to show how the religious, moral, philosophical, and political systems developed by the Jews--descendants and followers of Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Saul, and David--profoundly shaped the world we know today. Concepts as basic as personal freedom and charity derive from their adaptations to and interpretations of their experiences. To anyone with even a basic knowledge of Western history it is clear that Judaism influenced Christianity and I... more info>>

Mysteries of the Middle Ages: The Rise of Feminism, Science, and Art from the Cults of Catholic Europe [Secure eReader (recommended)/Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader]
by Thomas Cahill
|
|
 After the long period of cultural decline known as the Dark Ages, Europe experienced a rebirth of scholarship, art, literature, philosophy, and science and began to develop a vision of Western society that remains at the heart of Western civilization today. By placing the image of the Virgin Mary at the center of their churches and their lives, medieval people exalted womanhood to a level unknown in any previous society.
