Why ''The Bible is right after all!', - Rated
An interesting book , in which allowances have to be made for the fact that it was first published in 1956 (I have just read the 1967 impression).
Keller outlines the historical backdrop to the Biblical narrative , while providing fascinating archaeological and historical evidence to prove that 'The Bible is right after all!', as the author writes in the introduction.
For those who claim that the book is discredited by how long ago it was written , the passage of time since then has strenghtned , not weakened the case for the Bible as history.
Part of the evidence presented by Keller includes Egyptian narratives that speak of similar events to those in the Exodus and Babylonian narratives that speak of similar events to those in the Bible narrative.
Keller writes of a Mesopotamian story about a baby in the bullrushes , and go's throught the plagues of Egypt describing how each one of them , with the exception of the death of the firstborn , is born out by phenomena in Egypt-each plague has a parrallel seen in Egypt.
Further the author explores the phenomenon of manna in the desert , and how it has been collected in the Sinai by later explorers.
The age of Solomon and the biography of Cyrus the Great are explored.
It is interesting that in the Persian records Cyrus was to be killed as a baby on order of his grandfather but the would be executor had no heart for the deed.
Could the Allmighty have spared Cyrus for the task of letting the Jews return to Israel and rebuild Jerusalem
The book go's up the destruction of Jerusalem in 66 CE , before exploring various scientific phenomenon , which go to prove the truth of the Bible.
Interestingly gardeners and workers sometimes still find medallions with Roman descriptions in the soil of Israel today.
This book is a good primer to the subsequent works of this nature.
The Bible as History - Rated
This exciting book brings a new dimension to the bible. It gives the reader 'archeological confirmation' to the timing and reality of biblical events, showing in some cases (eg falling of the walls of Jericho) how God may have used nature's powerful forces to bring his work into reality.
Nonsense. - Rated
This book is full of outright lies and nonsense. As an archaeologist, the misinterpretations seemed obvious. It is very poor science when the author sets out to prove his hypotheses by manipulating sketchy evidence. It would require a low level of gullibility for an individual to accept any information in this book as truth. In this attempt to prove the improbable, the author fails.
very good - Rated
The book offers logical explanations to many of the phenomena occuring in the bible. The authors style of writing also adds to this marvelous attempt to explain the bible as a historical book.
Excellent comparison of Bible and archaeology. - Rated
This is an excellent archaeological view of the Bible. The author compares archaeological data and other ancient writings with the Bible and notes the eerie agreement between accounts. While the author readily shows when various accounts disagree, this book tends to support the historical accuracy of the Bible. This is a very good suplement to the Bible.
