Archaelogoy is Queen of the battle

The following article provides a very interesting perspective on the development of the christian religion.
The book which is entitled "The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts" it uses archaelogy as the basis to challenge some of the core stories of the bible.

Theres a new book like this every couple of years. Author, Reserchers and archelogists claiming new discoveries or evidence to prove that certian biblical events never happened, or took place.

But in most cases it just the same old arguments dressed up in something new.

And once again we have mutton dressed up as lamb!.

I`m not gonna say what this guy says is right not having read the whole book and what you say may be right. To say that those of a religious bent are close minded to challnges to their religion is obvious. The bible is not only a religious text but a historical one and to see somebody challenging the precepts that you have is always refreshing.
