New inscription confirms trade relations between “towns of Judah” and South Arabia
By André Lemaire
055 Southern Arabia is 1,200 miles south of Israel. Naturally, skepticism about the reality of trade between South Arabia and Israel in ancient times seems justified. Yet the Bible documents this trade quite extensively—most famously in the...

Jehoash Inscription May Be Authentic

The Kitchen Debate

Three Scholars Discuss a Major New Book on History and the Bible
By Ronald S. HendelWilliam W. HalloKenneth A. Kitchen
When we received a copy of Kenneth A. Kitchen’s new book, On the Reliability of the Old Testament, we knew that we should review it. Kitchen is one of the world’s leading scholars (he specializes in Egyptology), and the subject matter of the book—how historically accurate is the Bible?—is of central interest to many of our readers. We asked Ronald Hendel, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley and a columnist for our sister magazine, Bible Review, to review it for us.
