Cahill is the most interesting historian I know of. Beyond the depth of research one expects of a historian, Cahill enlivens his accounts by exploring the peculiarities, obsessions, social practices, lifestyles, dietary traditions, family structures, sexual habits, religious beliefs, etc. that reveal what an ancient culture was really like. In this case, Cahill leaves one with an entirely fresh perspective of the history of the Jews.
