Description
An historical approach to the Old Testament that places the events in the Bible in the context of the time they were being written: between the 6th and 3rd centuries B.C. The authors reconcile the biblical accounts, from Genesis to the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, to archeological and other existing sources, to determine the intent of those who wrote the Bible, their vision of history and the way it was perceived. This brilliant study shows us how to better read the Bible, and what the Bible can reveal about the progression of monotheism. Foreword by Javier Teixidor.
