Jews, God, and History by Max I. Dimont
This book shows the history of the Jews in context of the greater world. The Jews developed a strong culture, but never developed a lasting civilization. This may be part of the reason why they have survived so long. They have been able to live in many civilizations and take active roles. There were backgrounds in Jewish sects that would later be the roots of Christianity. Similar Jewish influences can be found in Islam. The religion has changed and adapted with the times, while keeping many constants and a strong affinity.
