1.		The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts from Free Press Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Ancient Israel was not an empire of great cities but was a tiny kingdom.

2.		David and Solomon: In Search of the Bible's Sacred Kings and the Roots of the Western Tradition from Free Press Price: $7.99 Customer Review: It is so refreshing to read a book like this! For too long, biblical romantics have fantasized that archaeology would `verify' the history constructed by the biblical text itself; the narrative account.

10.		Secrets of the Bible from Hatherleigh Press Price: $22.65 Customer Review: The real "secret" this book revealed to me was that the archaeologists represented in this magazine have an apparent agenda: The Bible will be used as a trusted source only when it confirms their hypotheses.
