Did Kings Saul, David, and Solomon exist, who authored the Pentateuch, and what events described in the Old Testament actually took place? Addressing the most difficult mysteries of biblical scholarship, Russian scholar Andrei Desnitsky asks the question: is it legitimate to consider the Scriptures as a historical source? Can we reconstruct the biblical past using the scientific method, and to what extent are any of our reconstructions determined by subjective expectations? The author correlates the problems of archaeological data and written sources, tracing the relationship between myth and history, the origin of ancient Israel and the formation of its statehood. This is a fascinatingly presented qualified scientific work, allowing a fresh look at the stories of one of the most important books in human history.
