Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the tension between historical reality and religious interpretation in the Old Testament and the history of Israel. It examines how the Bible reflects both an authentic past and a constructed narrative shaped by later writers for religious purposes. Central to the discussion is the question of the Bible's role in providing insight into the ancient world versus its function as a tool for religious expression.
