Praise for Desire of the Everlasting Hills "Each of [Thomas Cahill's] books offers moments of genuine insight into the workings of culture, literature, and the human heart." Commonweal "A popularization, but in the best sense of the word. With grace, skill and erudition, he summarizes obtuse semantic and historical arguments, highlights the findings most relevant to lay readers and draws disparate material together in his portraits of Jesus, his mother, Mary, and the apostle Paul." Washington Post Book World "A deft march through time and through theology in the making . . . [Cahill's] own gift-giving is his ability to climb inside the scholarship and enliven it." Philadelphia Inquirer Praise for The Gifts of the Jews "Captivating . . . persuasive as well as entertaining . . . Mr. Cahill's book is a gift." New York Times "Cahill's clearly voiced, jubilant song of praise to the gifts of the Jews is itself a gifta splendid story, well told." Boston Globe "Cahill exalts his ancient subjects, their hearts, minds and experiences resonate in his compelling contemporary narrative." Chicago Tribune Praise for How the Irish Saved Civilization "Charming and poetic . . . an entirely engaging, delectable voyage into the distant past, a small treasure." New York Times "A shamelessly engaging, effortlessly scholarly, utterly refreshing history of the origins of the Irish soul and its huge contribution to Western culture." Thomas Keneally "Cahill's lively prose breathes life into a 1,600-year-old history."
