re: #77 Islamo-Masonic Conspirator

The good books on the topic are:

William G. Dever, Who Were the Early Israelites, and Where Did They Come From?

Israel Finkelstein, Neil Asher Silberman, The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology’s New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Sacred Texts

Dever presents a balanced, “centrist” consensus. He’s a well-known opponent of the “minimalists” like Finkelstein. Finkelstein’s conclusions about the reigns of David and Solomon are a matter of controversy and should be read with care.

But on the topic of the sojourn-exodus-conquest narrative these opponents, both highly respected archaeologists, basically agree.
