Book excerpt: During his five years in captivity in Beirut, John McCarthy had very little reading material. But the one book he did have was the Bible, which he read from cover to cover--twice. He was particularly intrigued by the stories of the Old Testament. But how much of this 'history' is actually true? Returning to the Holy Land, John McCarthy visited sites associated with the great biblical stories and spoke to the archaeologists and the historians who are uncovering the truth of the biblical past. This book encapsulates the evidence, examines the arguments and, offers fresh, sometimes shocking but challenging perspectives on the Bible.
