The Mythic Past: Biblical Archaeology And The Myth Of Israel

Thomas L. Thompson

3.9/5 ( ratings)

The Jewish people's historical claims to a small area of land bordering the eastern Mediterranean are not only the foundation for the modern state of Israel, they are also at the very heart of Judeo-Christian belief. Yet in The Mythic Past, Thomas Thompson argues that such claims are grounded in literary myth, not history. In another book, the author delves into the "Messiah myth".
