Title: Not very good scholarship
Product review: The subject of Biblical history is certainly a fascinating one and and I had eagerly awaited dipping into this volume. Unfortunately, though, I found myself too often distracted by glaring mistakes of fact (a couple gaffes which would have brought poor grades to a high school student) and some preposterous conclusions which were far from justified by the evidence. Aside from this I'm afraid I can say little else in review. There is a certain level of competence one should be able to expect from authors and publishers, and when the most basic level is not achieved I lose my patience. I do not recommend this to readers with critical faculties. But without them I suppose you might find this book quite enjoyable.
