In this provocative yet persuasive book, now in paperback, Eric
H. Cline uses the tools of his trade to examine some of the most
puzzling mysteries from the Hebrew Bible and, in the process, to
narrate the history of ancient Israel. Combining academic with an
accessible style that has made him a favorite with readers and
students alike, he lays out each mystery, evaluates all available
evidence—from established fact to arguable assumption to
far-fetched leap of faith—and proposes an explanation that
reconciles Scripture, science, and history.
Numerous amateur archaeologists have sought some trace of Noah’s
Ark to meet only with failure. But, though no serious scholar would
undertake such a literal search, many agree that the Flood was no
myth but the cultural memory of a real, catastrophic inundation,
retold and reshaped over countless generations. Likewise, some
experts suggest that Joshua’s storied victory at Jericho is the
distant echo of an earthquake instead of Israel’s sacred trumpets—a
fascinating, geologically plausible theory that remains unproven
despite the best efforts of scientific research.
Cline places these and other Biblical stories in solid
archaeological and historical context and reserves judgment on
ideas that cannot yet be confirmed or denied. Along the way, our
most informed understanding of ancient Israel comes alive with
dramatic but accurate detail in this groundbreaking and
entertaining book by one of the rising stars in the field.
