Więcej o książce
Archaeological discoveries have transformed our understanding of biblical figures, particularly David and Solomon, traditionally viewed as heroic kings. Finkelstein and Silberman reveal that the historical David was likely a bandit leader in Jerusalem, with many biblical accounts being mythologized over time. They explore how these figures evolved through wars and tragedies, becoming symbols of hope for Jews and Christians, and influencing European kingship. This work combines meticulous research with engaging scholarship, reshaping the narrative of western civilization's origins.
