Author Steve Crane:
“When Bible Meets History invites you to accompany me on an adventurous detective trip to see what’s verified in those first five books of the Bible; how actual history is cloaked in that ancient form of writing called Biblical Hebrew; and what it means to a modern, critically-thinking mind ….
“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 ….
“We look at the Tribe of Benjamin, or Beni Yamin – sons to the right along the Euphrates River – and discover an ancient tribe that once worshipped the moon before becoming Israelite; then visit what remains of Santorini Island, after the most violent volcano in tens of thousands of years blew the island apart, destroyed Crete, then delivered a blanket of ash that blocked the sun, polluted waters that chased frogs onto land, and saw swarms of flies on dead fish; then we dine on honey dew from the desert manna tree, the desert tamarisk, and quail (as did Moses) harvested from their annual migration across the desert.
“Through this detective work, we reveal history. Then we seek a reconciliation of actual chronology and scripture – nothng less than a translation of any ancient writing style into something that enchances our understanding of history and inspires our very souls….”
