Reception[edit]

In his review of the first volume for The New York Times, Dwight Garner wrote:

'Mr. Schama's 'The Story of the Jews' is exemplary popular history. It's engaged, literate, alert to recent scholarship and, at moments, winningly personal... Mr. Schama is Jewish, but not especially religious... His loyalty is obviously to the hard evidence. At the same time, he declares that 'the 'minimalist' view of the Bible as wholly fictitious, and unhooked from historical reality, may be as much of a mistake as the biblical literalism it sought to supersede.'^[7]

Former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, who reviewed Belonging for the New Statesman, described it as 'immensely erudite – and compulsively readable' and said: 'The importance of Schama's book is that it forces the reader to think about how the long and shameful legacy of Christian hatred for Jews is reworked in 'enlightened' society'.^[8]
