The purpose of this book is to identify the 1,001 most significant events in Judeo-Christian history and the most significant Jewish dates of the last two millennia. If there is a difference of opinion as to the exact date of an event, the authors use a consensus date based on several sources. Each date is preceded by a symbol: a cross, star of David or crescent moon to indicate the history to which it refers. An extensive timetable outlines these major 1,001 events. 504 pages, softcover.
