Can scripture, science, and history be reconciled? Bringing objectivity and a deep understanding of archaeology to the question, Eric Cline weighs the possibility of Noah's Ark against the near certainty of a worldwide flood, evaluates whether Jericho's walls were felled by an earthquake or by Israel's trumpets, and seeks the locations of the Garden of Eden, Sodom and Gomorrah, the Ark of the Covenant, and the Ten Lost Tribes. Along the way, he debunks some pseudoscientific theories and places the biblical stories in solid historical context.
