The exciting field of biblical archaeology has revolutionized our
understanding of the Bible - and no one has done more to popularise
this vast store of knowledge than Israel Finkelstein and Neil
Silberman, who revealed what we now know about when and why the
Bible was first written in THE BIBLE UNEARTHED. Now, with DAVID AND
SOLOMON, they do nothing less than help us to understand the sacred
kings and founding fathers of western civilization. David and his
son Solomon are famous in the Bible for their warrior prowess,
legendary loves, wisdom, poetry, conquests, and ambitious building
programmes. Yet thanks to archaeology's astonishing finds, we now
know that most of these stories are myths. Finkelstein and
Silberman show us that the historical David was a bandit leader in
a tiny back-water called Jerusalem, and how - through wars,
conquests and epic tragedies like the exile of the Jews in the
centuries before Christ and the later Roman conquest - David and
his successor were reshaped into mighty kings and even messiahs,
symbols of hope to Jews and Christians alike in times of strife and
despair and models for the great kings of Europe.A landmark work of
research and lucid scholarship by two brilliant luminaries, DAVID
AND SOLOMON recasts the very genesis of western history in a whole
new light.
