The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts

Authors: Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman

ISBN: 0684869136

Condition: Used

Drawing on recent archaeological research, leading scholars Finkelstein and Silberman present a dramatically revised portrait of ancient Israel and its neighbours. Crucial evidence at digs in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon suggests that many of the Bible’s most famous stories — the wanderings of the patriarchs, the Exodus, Joshua’s conquest of Canaan, and David and Solomon’s empire — reflect the world of the later authors rather than historical fact. A fascinating and controversial perspective on when and why the Bible was written.
