Sounds like a good book. I will try to squeeze it in- I have to read Summer of the Gods-about Scopes for my non-fiction book group next month. So I won't be able to read anything else until I finish that- but I will write Lovingkindness down. amazon.com

C'mon, Ms Know It All, I wanted to box your ears a little more, and here you are quitting the battle. The Slate piece mentioned a few of the positions taken by your archeologist, and that's all I have to go on. What is mentioned is nothing new. Moses and/or the exodus of the Hebrew tribes is not mentioned in any of the Egyptian histories. But it appears that the Pharoahs' idea of history didn't include much that was embarrassing to them, so the absence of such an account doesn't mean Moses and the exodus didn't happen. The archeologist doubts the Jericho account, and again that's nothing new. There was a 400 year interlude between Bronze Age Jericho and Iron Age Jericho, and the site is a hard one for learning much about the older site. This could be from erosion during the years it was abandoned. The article mentions that the Kingdom wasn't an especially powerful or important one, and I didn't know anyone doubted that. They were certainly always threatened by Egypt or Assyria or Babylon. Even their Philistine neighbors could push them around. Nothing new here. What else was there in that silly piece that had you all excited?
