Title: Good Historical Background
Product review: I found this book an excellent historical background to Biblical times, especially its references to Egyptian Dynasties. For the most part, speaks strongly in favor of the Bible as an accurate record to Earth's past, but tends to downplay the miraculous for more natural occurences in nature. Like for instance, explaining away the parting of the Red Sea, as really the "Reed Sea," an extremely shallow body of water easily crossed on foot. Or Moses' experiencing Jehovah God speaking to him out of a burning bush, as a plant in the Middle East that actually ignites into flames on occasion. Of course, a shallow passage through the "Reed Sea" by the Children of Israel, doesn't quite explain away how Pharaoh's entire army was drowned there does it? But I take it for what its worth. Good history, bad theology.
