Title: Unmitigated tripe
Review: I see that other reviewers have called this book 'scholarly'. In fact this is a spectacular demonstration of the human ability to find any belief, no matter how nutty, justified by Biblical texts. Nothing Pember says is backed up by any significant research beyond what is said in the Bible. Since other Biblical scholars have come to remarkably different conclusions, then the only reason for favouring his view is ithat he reinforces some people's existing prejudices.The End Is Nigh, apparently. But Pember wrote this book well over 100 years ago - how Nigh is that?
