The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts by  Neil Asher Silberman and Israel Finkelstein discusses the Hebrew Bible from the origins of the ancient Israelites, the questions of whether the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) existed, whether the Israelites were slaves in Egypt and whether Moses existed, was there a conquest of Canaan, how big were the kingdoms of David and Solomon, whether there was a united kingdom of what became Israel in the north and Judea in the south, and the writing of much of the Hebrew text under King Josiah. Findelstein is a Professor of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University and Silberman an archeologist and a contributing editor to Archaeology Magazine. This is a SDG on archeology and history, not on religion. There was a lot of controversy over this book when it came out. All views are welcome.
