TheBible Unearthed Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel by Silberman, Neil Asher ON Jun-08-2002, Paperback(Reprint)
by Israel Finkelstein, Neil Asher Silberman
Paperback, 385 Pages, Published 2002 by Touchstone
ISBN-13: 978-0-684-86913-1, ISBN: 0-684-86913-6

"The Bible Unearthed is a balanced, thoughtful, bold reconsideration of the historical period that produced the Hebrew Bible. The headline news in this book is easy to pick out: there is no evidence for the existence of Abraham, or any of the Patriarchs; ditto for Moses and the Exodus; and the same goes for the whole period of Judges and the united monarchy of David and Solomon. In fact, the authors argue that it is impossible ..."
