Besides, it's already been done.
The Bible Unearthed - I believe in 4 parts.
The book is better but this isn't bad.
"The Bible Unearthed" by Finkelstein and Silverman
"Who Were The Early Israelites and Where Did They Come From" by William Dever
"Did God Have A Wife" by Dever
"The Quest for the Historical Israel" by Finkelstein and Amihai Mazar
"The View From Nebo" by Amy Dockser Marcus
These are all archaeological books but written for laymen. Real archaeological papers are cures for insomnia to all but other archaeologists.
One reason that fundies prefer their fairy tales is because they are too fucking stupid to understand anything more complex.
Start with "The Bible Unearthed," Zip.
Thanks min. I appreciate this.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
