The Bible Unearthed

Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts

by Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman

An archaeologist and a historian present the evidence of excavations for the origins of Israel and the formation of the Bible. They argue that much of the biblical history took shape in the late monarchy of Judah. Influential and controversial, it is a clear statement of one major scholarly position.
