Lavishly illustrated and packed with engaging information, this book begs to be read, studied, and thoroughly enjoyed. Beginning with an introduction discussing the challenges facing the authority of Biblical history, archaeologist David Down stresses the importance of understanding historical records and timelines, and how a correct interpretation of historical records in Egypt and Israel show a remarkable consistency with Biblical records. Each successive chapter explores the history and geography of Israel through her prophets and kings. Topics include: Noah and the worldwide flood; Abraham In Ur and Canaan; Isaac and Rebekah; Jacob and Esau; Joseph to Moses; Crossing the Sinai Peninsula (Red Sea); desert wilderness; crossing the Jordan; Joshua to Judges; Samuel and Saul; David as King; Solomon; Israel and Judah; Israel and Assyria; Judah and Assyria; Judah's Exhile; Medo-Persian Empire; Jerusalem's Triumph (Esther to Malachi) and the King of Kings, a look at the life of Jesus in the New Testament. Beneficial appendices provide more details on the tabernacle, Solomon's Temple, the Dead Sea Scrolls and reference tables from the Complete Works of Josephus. From Master Books, this book is an indispensable guide to understanding the Bible's archaeological history. 170 pgs, hc. ~ Deanne
