«The Bible Unearthed» is the archaeology and history essay by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman, published by Free Press in English.
The essay reinterprets the history of ancient Israel on the basis of archaeology: many accounts in the Old Testament would find no material confirmation. The authors reconstruct the origin of the sacred texts in their historical, political and social context, proposing a separation between the biblical narrative and verifiable facts.
Recommended for readers with an interest in archaeology, ancient history and biblical studies.
