Thomas Cahill: Desire of the everlasting hills (1999, Nan A. Talese)

Review of 'Desire of the everlasting hills' on 'Goodreads'

This book is an interesting look at the cultures, people, languages, and events that shaped the world around Jesus. From the influence of Alexander the Great and the Greeks on the Jews to the personalities and writing styles of Jesus's early followers, many intriguing influences are discussed. While not comprehensive, Cahill's mostly-secular work is both engaging and accessible.
