Synopsis
WAS THE RENAISSANCE LARGELY ROOTED IN JUDAIC TRADITION? How did the Renaissance actually come about? What were the building blocks of this dramatic transformation from the Dark Ages? Lee Crane's groundbreaking book, Jews Usher in the Renaissance, presents a fresh and stunning viewpoint that traces the roots of the Renaissance to the foundations of Judaism and refutes the long-held notion that modern civilization began in Greece before spreading to Rome, Northern Europe, and the rest of the world. Crane's compelling examination, supported by colorful graphic evidence, traces the beginnings of modern civilization to ancient Israel. He connects the dots to show how the basic principals of Judaism endured throughout the Middle Dark Ages, despite the totalitarian forces of Roman Imperialism, and -- with the help of Judeo-Christian Catholics, minority Christians, and tolerant Muslims ultimately spread to Europe and beyond.
