1.		How the Irish Saved Civilization (Hinges of History) from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: When I first heard the title of this book I decided not to read it, despite my pleasure in Cahill's prior book, "The Gift of the Jews".

3.		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: This is a great book if you are in fact a westerner with very low esteem. It will teach you that everything about you is good and everything about everyone else is bad. But seriously. There are so many untrue things in this book that I am not even going to bother (Nobody wrote linear History except... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Sailing the Wine-Dark Sea: Why the Greeks Matter (Hinges of History) from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Thomas Cahill's "Hinges of History" series has emerged as one of the most popular series of intellectual histories ever written, and also the most important. Intellectual history is often written by historians for historians, and you need at least a Master's degree to get past Chapter One.

5.		Desire of the Everlasting Hills: The World Before and After Jesus (Hinges of History) from Anchor Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Cahill is a comparative cultural historian, and as such, views the history of Judaism and Christianity through secular eyes, yet is faithful to how adherents of each understood their faiths. I recommend this book with enthusiasm, for the historical context in which Cahill places Judaism, the advent... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

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... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		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... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		Modern Catholic Social Teaching: Commentaries And Interpretations from Georgetown University Press Price: $35.96 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... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

10.		Pope John XXIII: A Penguin Life (Penguin Lives) from Viking Adult Price: $14.96 Customer Review: Liberals: good. Conservatives:bad. John XXIII: a saint. Sadly, that's pretty much a synopsis of this book.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
