Author: Israel Finkelstein, Neil Asher Silberman
There has been an explosion of recent discoveries in biblical archaeology. These finds have shed powerful light on figures and stories from the Bible -- and completely changed what we know about some of its most famous characters. The reputations of the first great kings, David and Solomon, evolved over hundreds of years. In David and Solomon...  more », leading archaeologists Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman focus on the two great leaders as a window into the entire biblical era.

This book changed my whole mind set! Another must read, The Bible Unearthed.
There has been so much research into the "truth" of the bible historically for about 100 years! Why have we not heard about this?! This book explains how/what we know about Davis and Solomon and who they really were, if they were the stuff of legend, or real people with a different history fomr the one we are told.

A book that takes the story past the biblical and adds the full history of that time. If your into the history of the Old Testament this one for you. Also added are the Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek, Babylonian as well as the Philistines and related coastal people. Well worth reading for interested in those times.
