Jon Entine, Author of Abraham’s Children: Race, Identity and the
DNA of The Chosen People
at the JCC Jewish Book Fair
JGSMI is proud to co-sponsor Jon Entine, author of Abraham’s
Children: Race, Identity and the DNA of the Chosen People, at the
56th Annual Jewish Book Fair.
Abraham’s Children is a provocative look at
how genetic research is reshaping biblical
history, Western identity and Jewish ethnicity. Entine shows
how genetics can provide a fascinating rereading of biblical
stories, including the Exodus. Entine also wrestles with
modern controversies such as whether Jews are, as Arthur
Koestler once claimed, a religion of converts or whether,
as some scientists believe, they are a “race apart.”
