"The question of whether the Bible contains any element of historical truth has been the cause of one of the most divisive and compelling debates of this century. For modern churchmen and Jewish scholars the text of the Book of Books is seen as an amalgam of myth, mistakes and misinterpretation, yet enshrining still a large substratum of fact. Wilson looks at the latest findings of eminent Biblical archaeologists and scholars in order to gain a crucial perspective on these arguments."--Jacket.
