A History of the Bible Lands in the Interbiblical Period
Author: Robert L. Cate
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
The interbiblical period has been the focus of intensive scholarly study for many years, yet the fruits of this work often remain inaccessible to the theological student and minister. Robert L. Cate rectifies this situation, gathering and communicating the results of research in clear, readable prose. Cate argues persuasively that an understanding of the interbiblical period is crucial to those who are concerned with the development of Judaism, the life and ministry of Jesus, the historical setting for the New Testament's development, and the emergence of the church. He then introduces the reader to the people, geography, politics, religions, philosophies, and lifestyles that combine to make up the history of the Bible lands in the interbiblical period.

The Bible Unearthed
Author: Israel Finkelstein
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743223381
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
In this groundbreaking work that sets apart fact and legend, authors Finkelstein and Silberman use significant archeological discoveries to provide historical information about biblical Israel and its neighbors. In this iconoclastic and provocative work, leading scholars Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman draw on recent archaeological research to present a dramatically revised portrait of ancient Israel and its neighbors. They argue that crucial evidence (or a telling lack of evidence) at digs in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon suggests that many of the most famous stories in the Bible—the wanderings of the patriarchs, the Exodus from Egypt, Joshua’s conquest of Canaan, and David and Solomon’s vast empire—reflect the world of the later authors rather than actual historical facts. Challenging the fundamentalist readings of the scriptures and marshaling the latest archaeological evidence to support its new vision of ancient Israel, The Bible Unearthed offers a fascinating and controversial perspective on when and why the Bible was written and why it possesses such great spiritual and emotional power today.
