In this iconoclastic and provocative work, leading scholars Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman draw on recent archaeological research to present a dramatically revised portrait of ancient Israel and its neighbors. They argue that crucial evidence (or a telling lack of evidence) at digs in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon suggests that many of the most famous stories in the Bible - the wanderings of the patriarchs, the Exodus from Egypt, Joshua’s conquest of Canaan, and David and Solomon’s vast empire - reflect the world of the later authors.

If you are interested in mapping the best of scholarly reconstruction of history onto the Biblical telling of it, this book is for you. This scholarship confirms and disconfirms various aspects of the biblical narrative, and is generally successful in doing so without much ideological axe grinding.
The book is dense in places (making the audiobook version challenging to keep up with at times), and presumes general knowledge of ancient history and geography, as well as general familiarity with the Old Testament. Listening to this book has prompted me to order the print version to fully digest its contents. Whether listening to or reading this book, have some relevant maps at hand.
