Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman contrast the biblical narrative with the archaeological evidence of ancient Israel. The book examines the historicity of the patriarchs, the exodus, the conquest of Canaan, monotheism, and the kingdom of David and Solomon, and asks when and why the Bible began to be written.
The translation is by José Luis Gil Aristu; the original title is The Bible Unearthed. The work appeared in English in 2001 and this Spanish edition in 2002.
For readers interested in ancient history, archaeology, and historical criticism of the Bible.
