Industry Reviews "In juxtaposing the biblical record and archaeological data, [Finkelstein and Silberman] work with tantalizing fragments of a distant past. Assembling clues to argue their thesis requires bold imagination and disciplined research. THE BIBLE UNEARTHED exhibits both in abundance." New York Times - Phyllis Trible (02/04/2001)
"A highly readable introduction to ancient archaeology and what it can teach us about the Bible." Kirkus Reviews (11/15/2000)
