Title: Premise Has Been Thoroughly Discredited
Product review: The major premise of this book, which seeks to redate the united monarchy period, has been thoroughly discredited. However, don't just take my word for it. Before wasting your money and time reading this entire book, see the review by Nicolae Roddy of Creighton University. Finkelstein's revisionism is not accepted by most archaeologists. In fact, he has been debunked by many respected archaeologists working in Palestine, including Eliat and Amihai Mazar, Amnon Ben-Tor, Doron Ben-Ami, and Jane Cahill. Whatever the authors' motives, this is another failed attempt to write off much of the Old Testament as non-historical.
