    Easy to read

    The author's writing style is very easy to read and comprehend. The book is badly in need of thorough updating with current research, but even its dated content is very informative. It is illustrated with a few line drawings. Better illustration would make this book even better.

    An eye-opener

    It is very interesting to read some of the early excavations that confirmed Biblical history. Although the book, in my opinion, falls short in some conclusions, it is a real eye-opener for both religious and non-religious. However, for a more up to date picture of whether archaeology confirms the Bible, one should supplement this book with some modern writings on this subjects, as much has happened since this book was first published.

    Unfortunately, this is TRASH

    I was very excited to read this book. Regretably, this book is a disappointment! Having studied Biblical history for many years at Columbia University, I have found many inaccuracies in this work. The authors appear to be pretentious and inept to discuss the topics they claim they are expert in. Perhaps this is due to the fact that much has been discovered since this book was published in 1955- or perhaps this is simply a bad work. If you are interested in this topic, I highly recommend you not waste your time on 'The Bible as History.'
