Coogan, addressing the recent scholarly debate on the historical value of the Bible, challenges the biblical minimalists, scholars who reject the Bible as a viable source of history. Demonstrating how archaeological evidence can inform the biblical text, Coogan maintains that the Bible, in conjunction with archaeological evidence, should still be considered part of history, and that despite the ideological slant of the biblical authors, the Bible does contain verifiable historical data.
Michael Coogan is professor of religious studies at Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts, and director of publications for the Harvard Semitic Museum. A highly regarded interpreter of the biblical world, he has taught at Harvard University and Wellesley College and has excavated in Israel, Jordan, Egypt and Cyprus. Among the many contributions Coogan has made to scholarly journals is "Ten Great Finds," in the May/June 1995 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review.
