    A “masterful and eminently readable” journey through the fascinating insights and revelations of Biblical archeology (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Many of our religious beliefs are based on faith alone, but archaeology gives us the opportunity to find evidence about what really happened in the distant past—evidence that can have a dramatic impact on what and how we believe. In Digging Through the Bible, archaeologist and rabbi Richard Freund takes readers through digs he has led in the Holy Land, searching for evidence about key biblical characters and events.  Digging Through the Bible presents overviews of the evidence surrounding figures such as Moses, Kings David and Solomon, and Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as new information that can help us more fully understand the life and times in which these people would have lived. Freund also presents new evidence about finding the grave of the Teacher of Righteousness mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and gives a compelling argument about how the Exodus of the Israelites may have taken place in three separate waves over time, rather than in a single event as presented in the Bible.

    At around 4:45 pm on October 21, 1954, British woman Jessie Roestenberg claimed to have seen a flying saucer of aluminum color, hovering over her remote cottage near Staffordshire, UK, with two Nordic-looking figures sitting in the craft. Roestenberg, who was inside her house with her 2-year-old daughter while her two young sons were playing outside in the garden, suddenly heard a loud sound like an aircraft crash. When she stepped outside, her terrified sons shouted: “Mommy, Mommy, there’s a flying saucer” pointing toward a round UFO hovering above them. The following recording is from a tv report of Roestenberg’s account.
