The Bible is both a religious and historical work, but how much is myth and how much is history? This masterful investigation into the origins of the Bible visits archaeological digs in Egypt, Jordan and Israel – including Megiddo, the cradle of biblical archaeology. Rare archival footage, ancient maps, biblical illustrations and computer simulations are put into context by world-famous archaeologists and biblical scholars, including experts from the Louvre, the museums of Cairo and Jerusalem, and the British Museum.
THE BIBLE UNEARTHED does something which has never been done before: it reveals a still-unraveling revolution of what we know of the society, the history, and the men who wrote the Bible.
“The Bible Unearthed is a genuine work of scholarship. It is the best done of all its genre that I have yet seen.”
- DR. JIM WEST, BIBLICAL STUDIES RESOURCES
“The boldest and most exhilarating synthesis of the Bible and archaeology in fifty years.”
- BARUCH HALPERN, AUTHOR OF 'THE FIRST HISTORIANS: THE HEBREW BIBLE AND HISTORY' (ON THE BOOK 'THE BIBLE UNEARTHED')
“Excellent, exciting, first-class!”
