Key Notes
The Bible and great books give readers the energy, strength, and power to liberate themselves if they open their hearts to them.
Jiang defines early Jewish identity through the promised land, the Law of Moses, and the Bible as literal collective memory.
Jiang says Christianity as later doctrine is a Roman invention that excuses Rome and shifts blame to Jews.
The biblical explanation for Cyrus returning exiles is divine command, but Jiang rejects that as insufficient for historical explanation.
Ezra presents Cyrus as moved by God to rebuild the Jerusalem temple rather than by imperial ambition.
Ezra is presented as an exiled-family priest and intellectual who is considered the creator of the Bible in its current form.
Reading the Bible against historical development allows Jiang to see connections and forecast future development.
