The Bible: What Was "Really"?
14.99 €
Did kings Saul, David, and Solomon exist, who was the author of the Pentateuch, and what events described in the Old Testament actually took place? Addressing the most difficult riddles of biblical studies, Russian scholar Andrei Desnitsky asks the question: Is it legitimate to consider the Holy Scriptures as a historical source?
Can we reconstruct the biblical past with the help of the scientific method, and to what extent are any of our reconstructions determined by subjective expectations? The author relates the problems of archaeological data and written sources, tracing the relationship between myth and history, the origins of ancient Israel and the formation of its statehood. This is an engagingly presented, qualified scholarly work that allows the reader to take a fresh look at the plots of one of the most important books in human history.
