I found this to be quite a ridiculous comparison: "Now [circa 320AD] that the Church was established, Christology became paramount, more important than life itself, for the right definition of Christ would decide whether a man would achieve salvation and enter heaven. In our secular era the debates on nuclear disarmament or global warming are the closest equivalents in their passion and intensity." (p.175)

I take issue with Montefiore's liberal use of place names and using the modern forms interchangeably. This becomes very confusing if you are not an expert on Middle East geography, especially considering a lot of these names don't appear on the first presented map (1000-586 BC). To me, it makes more sense to stick with the names as they were know then.
