"In a world that turns more and more to irrational views of
history, Eric Cline demythologizes the 'mysteries of the Bible.'He
does so with the force of reason, using clear language and a
perfect command of the ancient records and the finds from the
field."
--Israel Finkelstein, Institute of Archaeology, Tel Aviv
University, author of The Bible Unearthed "Eric Cline explores some
of the most challenging mysteries of the Bible, from the location
of the mythic Garden of Eden to the historical question of how the
Ten Lost Tribes were lost. A stimulating and fluent read
throughout, and always instructive."
--Baruch Halpern, Pennsylvania State University, author of David's
Secret Demons
"Cline is a serious scholar in full command of the subject matter
and the available material evidence for recovering and
reconstructing the history of Israel in its ancient Near Eastern
context."
--David Noel Freedman, University of California at San Diego,
author of The Nine Commandments
