Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Knowing the historical backdrop of Torah can support and enhance religious or secular understanding of this great work. With modern discoveries and critical thinking, it is increasingly urgent to reconcile Bible with history. The author, Stephen Lee Crane, invites the reader to accompany him on an adventurous detective trip to see what's historically verified in those first five books of the Bible and how to resolve the question of whether history is compatible with the patriarchal story or at odds with it.We travel down the Bahr Yussef or Canal of Joseph to see first-hand how Joseph changed the prospects for agriculture in Egypt; then look for the Sea of Reeds where pharaoh's army drowned and come to Lake El Ballah, the lake "Where "God devoured," part of a shallow saltwater system that Hebrews traversed and observe that wind and tide can expose land before rapidly reversing course.
