La estructura del libro, basada no en las fases arqueológicas sino en los grandes temas bíblicos, hace que su lectura sea atractiva para el no arqueólogo […] una nueva óptica irresistiblemente iluminadora […] una obra imprescindible y necesaria. Fernando Quesada, Revista de Libros.


Da las claves para descubrir en la Biblia ni una verdad histórica literalista ni una mera ficción literaria […] En este libro es tan importante el trabajo arqueológico como el conocimiento de las sociedades que dieron vida al texto bíblico. Joan Martínez Porcell, El Periódico de Catalunya.

In this groundbreaking work that sets apart fact and legend, authors Finkelstein and Silberman use significant archeological discoveries to provide historical information about biblical Israel and its neighbors.

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 rather than actual historical facts.

Challenging the fundamentalist readings of the scriptures and marshaling the latest archaeological evidence to support its new vision of ancient Israel, The Bible Unearthed offers a fascinating and controversial perspective on when and why the Bible was written and why it possesses such great spiritual and emotional power today.

A radical new theory about the origins of the Old Testament challenges traditional notions about ancient Israel, such as the power of David and Solomon and the historicity of the Exodus story. 50,000 first printing. First serial, Talk magazine.
