| 1. |  | How the Irish Saved Civilization (Hinges of History) from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  I listened to this audiobook on a four day road trip, and I had a wonderful experience with the substance of author Cahill's tales which in my mind substantiate the title's claims... that the Irish did indeed save civilization. Such as civilization is. You probably won't find a college course on... |

| 2. |  | The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels (Hinges of History) from Anchor Books/Nan A Talese Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Look around his occasional skepticism and viewpoint of higher criticism. This is a classic account of how God changed the world, and how the Jews and their God helped create a civilization to save. Cahill has a light and at the same time profound touch that hits at the heart. |

| 3. |  | Mysteries of the Middle Ages: And the Beginning of the Modern World (Hinges of History) from Anchor Price: $13.57 Customer Review:  I was bothered to find his personal and political views throughout the book. If I was looking for that I would read Michael Moore. |

| 5. |  | Desire of the Everlasting Hills: The World Before and After Jesus (Hinges of History) from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This book really casts a new eye on an old story. I think everyone will enjoy this book no matter what your background. Most of the book is pretty much a standard commentary on the gospels. The last part of the book is really outstanding. Cahill here as he does in all of his books provides exciting... |

| 6. |  | Mysteries of the Middle Ages: The Rise of Feminism, Science, and Art from the Cults of Catholic Europe from Nan A. Talese Customer Review:  I enjoyed Cahill's previous works immensely. This one is also good, taking the reader on a journey with several figures of the middle ages. THe effects of these individuals are laid out and integrated into the tale, sometimes in the languages they spoke, such as latin. I would have appreciated... |

| 7. |  | Modern Catholic Social Teaching: Commentaries And Interpretations from Georgetown University Press Price: $35.95 Customer Review: Modern Catholic Social Teaching was written, as the chief editor Ken Himes notes, in a uniquely collaborative effort that, to my mind, epitomizes the best of Catholic values, stressing individual dignity, the value of tradition and the importance of communal, collaborative work. Each is well... |

| 9. |  | Luke (Pocket Canon) from Grove Press Price: $2.95 Customer Review: The King James version of the Bible is not the most scholarly or painstakingly accurate translation. It remains, however, the most literary and perhaps the most influential version. For people of a certain age, like me, this is the version we heard as children. Biblical thinking is that the gospels... |

| 10. |  | Pope John XXIII: A Penguin Life (Penguin Lives) from Viking Adult Price: $13.57 Customer Review:  Before reading this book, I admired Cahill for his "Hinges of History" series. While he often shocked me with his obsession with detailed sexual rituals or practices, he seemed to weave a good pattern of history and narrative, making the books an enjoyable (and presumably beneficial) read. |

| 11. |  | Holy Lands: One Place, Three Faiths from Life Customer Review: I have to disagree with the reader from NY. I believe this issue was meant to provide everyone with a baseline for understanding the three religions in question as well as a brief history of the current problems plaguing that part of the world. This issue provides a great starting point for anyone... |

Don't let that intimidate you: it's more accessible than all of them, and a perfect book for a book club. It's the story of a man who commits a despicable act of violence in his... |

Thomas Cahill's third outing on the hinges of history brings us to Jesus Christ, and appropriately so, for so much of the word 'hinges' on this person (and we'll define that word more closely in a moment) in many, often unknowing ways. Obvious hinges are the... |

This book was a very easy read for me, both in content and in style, and I think the general reader will enjoy this book, too. I am used to, in my seminary training, to having weighty... |
