For the last century, archaeologists, historians and biblical scholars have believed that the stories of the Bible describe real historical events, but in the last two decades, this understanding has been radically challenged. It is generally accepted, that there is very little archaeological or historical evidence to confirm the stories of the Bible. In this lucid and fascinating book, Professor Thompson - who has been at the forefront of the international debate for many years - shows that we misunderstand the Bible if we read it as history.
