The Bible Unearthed: Archeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel & the Origin of Sacred Texts - Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman - A Short Summary & Review
A Short Summary of The Bible Unearthed: An archeologist's examination of Israel's Biblical Holy Sites. My Favorite Finkelstein/Silberman Quote From the Book: "The heart of the Hebrew Bible is an epic story that describes the rise of the people of Israel and their continuing relationship with God." Questions to Ponder While Reading: Do you realize how much common memory impacts our stories? Were you surprised by how large the ancient Egyptian empire was? My Review of the Book: Thoroughly explores the history of the Levant. Superb scholarship and research. A great look into the archeology of Biblical Sites. **************************************** a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller currently living in Salem, Virginia.
