For more than two hundred years controversy has raged over the
reliability of the Old Testament. Questions about the factuality of
its colorful stories of heroes, villains, and kings, for example,
have led many critics to see the entire Hebrew Bible as little more
than pious fiction. In this fascinating new book, noted ancient
historian K. A. Kitchen takes strong issue with today's
"revisionist" critics and offers a firm foundation for the
historicity of the biblical texts.
In a detailed, comprehensive, and entertaining manner, Kitchen
draws on an unprecedented range of historical data from the ancient
Near East -- the Bible's own world -- and uses it to soundly
reassess both the biblical record and the critics who condemn it.
Working back from the latest periods (for which hard evidence is
readily available) to the remotest times, Kitchen systematically
shows up the many failures of favored arguments against the Bible
and marshals pertinent permanent evidence from antiquity's
inscriptions and artifacts to demonstrate the basic honesty of the
Old Testament writers.
Enhanced with numerous tables, figures, and maps, "On the
Reliability of the Old Testament" is a must-read for anyone
interested in the question of biblical truth.
