Abraham's Children
Race, Identity, and the DNA of the Chosen People
by Jon Entine
Grand Central Publishing - New York
This book was utterly fascinating, as Jon Entine examines the question of Who is Jewish now, and Who was Jewish when? Is being Jewish about belief - conversion - practice ? Or genetics? Or a unique combination of BOTH?
DNA plays the strongest role in this process of discovery yet does not give us the definitive answer on this quest.
Of great interest to genealogists, DNA evidence for heritage, be that ethnic group, tribe, or race, seems to leading some of us on paths we didn't know we would take. Jon Entine gives it his best, examining and contributing to the controversies.
