About this title: Finkelstein and Silberman, both scholars of archaeology, purport to answer fundamental questions posed by the Bible--specifically, to discover how accurate biblical descriptions of major events such as the Exodus and the reign of David were. Their research uses advancements in biblical archaeology, and carries with it a unique interpretation of the sacred text.

"Dr. Finkelstein sure whipped up some controvery with this book - but you gotta give the guy credit for looking at something so ancient under a new lens."
"Finally, actual science applied to biblical archaeology. A great treatise on forming conclusions from the evidence rather than searching for evidence to support conclusions already determined."
"A good read! I really enjoyed this book. It is well written and moves along nicely. Using the scientific facts of archaeology in Isreal, it pulls the rug right out from Kings David and Solomon, and replaces it with an understanding of what really happened, where the Isrealis really came from, and why was the Old Testament written the way it was if it isnt the truth."
"This book would be better known and more controversial if it was not so dry in its presentation. Basically it says that there is no archaeological evidence to support the Biblical story of the birth of the Jewish faith--which, of course, knocks the pins out from under Christianity and Islam as well, since all three great world religions essentially look to the Old Testament and believe in the same God. Whether one believes or disbelieves the premise, this is fascinating stuff for anyone interested in the history of religion."
