Biblical Archaeology Society
How do the Bible's folk tales and cultural memories stand up against the evidence from archaeology and ancient texts? You be the judge in Fact, Fiction and Fable in Ancient Israel. Expert scholars present lively discussions about topics ranging from ancient Israel's memories of the Exodus and their birth as a people to the whereabouts of the famous Ten Lost Tribes. Also examine one of the key mysteries of the Book of Deuteronomy: Where was the 'place of the name" and could it have been the enigmatic cult site of Mt. Ebal? And were the Biblical stories of Moses' birth and Solomon's wealth exaggerated folk tales or were they based in historical reality?
