The Lost Temple of Israel: Why Jacob Crossed His Arms

This book describes a physical and intellectual journey in the author's life that traces his involvement in the excavation of a site on Mount Ebal, which the Bible describes as the home of the Lost Ark. Here, Koenigsberg discusses his experiences and the thought processes that brought him to a series of conclusions about the nature of the site that contradict almost axiomatic beliefs about early Israel and certain biblical materials--and which are considered seriously by experts in the field.
