The Bible Unearthed - Exodus

Re: The Bible Unearthed, Finkelstein & Silberman, Free Press Pub.
These two authors, one an archeologist and the other a historian, have published a book which draws attention to some striking discrepancies between certain Bible (Torah) narratives vs. recent archeological and historical findings. By recent, I mean within the last hundred years.

Hi Orion. I see we're both nubies here in town. Imo, you and these authors need to check out the book and videos on the recent stuff found in the Gulf of Aqaba and the 19th Dynasty papri found attesting to the havoc this disaster brought upon Egypt. I will soon be ordering the book, and maybe the video, I assume, and to be able to better refute some of your points after reading it. So far I've seen portions of the chariot wheels video and data on TV as stated in my thread on this subject. I assume you have read that thread?For now gotta hit hay. Hope to get back to you soon.------------------
Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing except he reveal the secret to his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7

Great posts here on page six, N67 and Brian. I'm looking forward to the resumption of your interesting dialogue. To interject a thought, some of the laws of the Jews were about keeping them healthy and prolific. Gentile cultures were far more careless and promiscuous in comparison. This, imo, is one reason they have survived these 19 centuries intact as an indentifiable people, though scattered worldwide.
