The Lost Temple of Israel: Why Jacob Crossed His Arms

Beschreibung

This book describes a physical and intellectual journey in the author's life that traces his involvement in the excavation of a site on Mount Ebal, which the Bible describes as the home of the Lost Ark. Here, Koenigsberg discusses his experiences and the thought processes that brought him to a series of conclusions about the nature of the site that contradict almost axiomatic beliefs about early Israel and certain biblical materials - and which are considered seriously by experts in the field.

Autor

Zvi Koenigsberg spent his youth attending traditional Jewish schools in New York City, where he was immersed in the study of the Jewish Bible and rabbinic literature. He moved to Israel at the age of twenty and spent almost a decade studying archaeology and the Bible under the informal mentorship of the late president of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Professor Benjamin Mazar, who excavated the Western Wall. Koenigsberg worked with Professor Adam Zertal of Haifa University at the Mount Ebal excavations, which are the subject of this book.
