re: #163 Buck

Albright is very out of date, you know, and most of his stuff has been overturned by modern research. Have you read anything that followed him?

I’m not familiar with Free and Vos, but some quick search shows they seem to be rather fringe scholars, and, like Albright, appear to be evangelical Christians. Free appears to have written the book with the explicit goal of establishing the historicity of the bible, rather than starting from a neutral position.

Have you read any Jewish scholars?
