About This Item
Synopsis
There has been an explosion of recent discoveries in biblical archaeology. These finds have shed powerful light on figures and stories from the Bible -- and completely changed what we know about some of its most famous characters. The reputations of the first great kings, David and Solomon, evolved over hundreds of years. In David and Solomon , leading archaeologists Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman focus on the two great leaders as a window into the entire biblical era. David and Solomon covers one thousand years of ancient civilization, separating fact from legend and proving that the roots of the western tradition lie very deep.
Reviews
The book is filled with facts not usually found in books on the bible. I enjoyed and learned from the content. Since the book was written new facts have come to light which contradict the basis of book. I would hope the authors would write another book based on latest information.
