In the 6th century BCE, Jerusalem and Judea were destroyed by the
Babylonians. This traumatic event created the need to construct and
articulate a comprehensive past that would give meaningful context
to the identity of the Israelites. New modes of communal
organization and worship during this period formed the foundation
of Second Temple Jerusalem and early Christianity. Readers will be
able to revisit familiar Bible stories and reach a better
understanding of these events through the lens of modern
archaeology. Archaeology and the Biblical Record challenges
traditional views of the scripture while respecting the religious
sensitivities of the reader. This bold text invites both Jewish and
Christian biblical scholars to rethink basic assumptions and
reformulate their instructional methods. Accessible and concise,
this fresh look at Bible history is written for teachers, members
of the clergy, and general readers, providing answers to the many
historical dilemmas confronted in the course of studying the Bible.
