Did Kings Saul, David, and Solomon exist, who was the author of the Pentateuch, and which events described in the Old Testament actually took place? Analyzing the most complex puzzles of biblical studies, Russian scholar Andrei Desnitsky asks the question:...
is it legitimate to consider Sacred Scripture as a historical source?
Can we reconstruct biblical history using scientific methods, and how much are our reconstructions influenced by subjective expectations? The author relates the problems of archaeological data and written sources, traces the connection between myth and history, the origins of Ancient Israel, and the formation of its statehood. This is an engagingly presented scholarly work that allows the reader to view the narratives of one of the most important books in human history in a new light.
