Summary of Max I. Dimont's Jews, God, and History

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first signs of civilization, with all the classical symptoms, appeared around 4500 B. C. In the third millennium B. , a great Semitic king named Sargon I conquered the Sumerians and formed the Sumerian-Akkadian kingdom.

#2 The first people to be called Hebrews were the descendants of Terah, who emigrated from the cosmopolitan city of Ur in Babylonia to the land of Haran in southern Turkey. God promised Abraham that He would make him a separate and distinct people if he followed the commandments of God.

#3 The idea of a covenant between the Jews and God is still alive today. It was Abraham who projected this experience onto an imaginary Jehovah, but the fact remains that after four thousand years, the idea of a covenant between the Jews and God is still alive.

#4 The Jews, after they had been exiled from Egypt, were forced to live as nomads. They were given the Ten Commandments by Moses, and they began to behave differently than the surrounding pagans. They developed a ritual that was different from that of the surrounding pagans.
