Combining the academic rigor that has won the respect of his peers
with an accessible style that has made him a favorite with readers
and students alike, he lays out each mystery, evaluates all
available evidence-from established fact to arguable assumption to
far-fetched leap of faith-and proposes an explanation that
reconciles Scripture, science, and history. Numerous amateur
archaeologists have sought some trace of Noah's Ark to meet only
with failure. But, though no serious scholar would undertake such a
literal search, many agree that the Flood was no myth but the
cultural memory of a real, catastrophic inundation, retold and
reshaped over countless generations. Likewise, some experts suggest
that Joshua's storied victory at Jericho is the distant echo of an
earthquake instead of Israel's sacred trumpets-a fascinating,
geologically plausible theory that remains unproven despite the
best efforts of scientific research. Cline places these and other
Biblical stories in solid archaeological and historical context,
debunks more than a few lunatic-fringe fantasies, and reserves
judgment on ideas that cannot yet be confirmed or denied. Along the
way, our most informed understanding of ancient Israel comes alive
with dramatic but accurate detail in this groundbreaking,
engrossing, entertaining book by one of the rising stars in the
field.
