First Paragraph

In the beginning - not the imagined beginning of patriarchs and prophets, and certainly not the beginning of the whole universe, just the documented beginning of ordinary Jews - in that beginning, a father and mother were worrying about their son.

- From The Story of the Jews: Finding the Words 1000 BC - 1492 AD by Simon Schama

David,

It does sort of make you want to read on.

I just got the book on Kindle. Today it is $1.99.

Happy Holidays!
