GREAT AGES AND IDEAS
OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE
Edited by
LEO W. SCHWARZ
Great Ages and Ideas of The Jewish People has special
value for its realistic approach to an understanding of
Jewish history. The compiler's view is that "knowledge of
history is in actuality liberation from the straight jackets
of time and ignorance." It is through such an approach,
as outlined in Schwarz's introduction, that the reader is
able to attain a proper perspective of the eras outlined in
this book.
