The Bible Unearthed (2009x25)
Uitzenddatum: Mrt 26, 2009
Considering the Bible is one of the most analysed books in all of literature, that it raises contentious debate is nothing new.
What is new, however; are the assertions of Finkelstein and Silberman, including that the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob never existed; and that the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan - the 'Promised Land' - never actually happened. While many scholars dispute the assertions of Finkelstein and Silberman, what is certain is that the debate these assertions have raised casts a shadow of doubt over what has been regarded as history by so many; in particular affecting the history of Israel as a nation.
