The Bible As History

by Werner Keller

The Bible As History Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Bible As History, now thoroughly updated with the latest scientific and archaeological breakthroughs in biblical investigation.

Including:

Revolutionary new evidence that confirms some of the most monumental and controversial events in the Bible-including the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra
Recently deciphered texts from the ancient world that offer an intriguing look back at the origin of the Ten Commandments
An entirely new chapter revealing the extraordinary techniques that may soon prove the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin

The Bible As History will take you on a breathtaking journey to the heart of Holy Scripture as it pieces together one of the most stunning spiritual puzzles in the history of mankind.

Synopsis:

This classic book grew out of the fascination that German journalist, Werner Keller, developed when he began to learn that the work of archaeologists and historians corroborated Biblical accounts which he had hitherto dismissed as mere "pious tales.
