This inductive study focuses on the texts and gives detailed reading assignments, t observation questions, and discussion questions. The book is intended to guide a parent and student, teacher and student, or tutor and student as they read the important works of literature from Anglo- Saxon poetry and Beowulf to Chaucer and Hamlet. The final work studied in the guide is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead which allows the students to compare and contrast the Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern world views.

A Review of From Eden to Exile It is refreshing to read an account of the history of Israel by a noted academic / archeologist which treats the biblical text respectfully! David Rohl cites an extensive collection of archaeological finds and artifacts which confirm the historical accuracy of the biblical account and attest to the historical reality of the Patriarchs. Rohl is part of a growing number of modern scholars who are challenging many of the assumptions and chronologies of the ancient world. Rohl approaches the biblical texts with a quite different attitude from the 19 & 20th century skeptics. The result is a startling confirmation of the biblical record and a revision of the chronology of the ancient world. Orthodox and conservative Christians will disagree with David Rohl’s version of the lives of Adam, Enoch, and Noah. but Rohl’s narrative here is little more than speculative conjecture – imaginative, but not really historical. The strength and brilliance of Rohl’s narrative is his “New Chronology” for Egypt. The traditional chronology yields no evidence of the Jews’ sojourn in Egypt, or the Exodus, or the Conquest, or even of the flourishing of the nation of Israel under David and Solomon. Rohl, based on the evidence, revises the chronology. He goes back and looks at the same places, but at different times, and finds countless confirmations of the details of the biblical account. His history of both Egypt and Israel is “satisfyingly supported by the stratigraphic record and colourfully enhanced by the contemporary texts of Israel’s powerful neighbours. It provides a solid and ultimately believable historical foundation for the religious messages of the biblical text.” The book is beautifully laid out (Rohl’s work, not Greenleaf’s!) and illustrated with maps derived from satellite photography as well as stunning photographs of ancient artifacts. It is also brilliantly written. Rohl has a knack for taking the details of archeology and explaining sophisticated concepts and analyses in ways that a layman can easily understand. This is no small accomplishment. Christians will not agree with his speculations about the details behind the book of Genesis. Indeed, it seems to me that Rohl has weakened his case by inventing a narrative for the earliest time period where he has the least amount of evidence. But when he reaches Joseph and Egypt, all those who respect and appreciate the biblical text must acknowledge that Rohl has done great service in re-evaluating the evidence and synthesizing it in a new and more accurate structure that better explains the ancient world – and in the process confirms the historical accuracy of the Old Testament. Thus, while there are many things in From Eden to Exile that I would take issue with, there is also much that I admire and appreciate. And because I appreciate what I can only judge to be an honest, forthright, original work of scholarship, I am proud to make From Eden to Exile available to the reading public (and the academic world) once again so that David Rohl’s contribution to the New Chronology will continue to find its audience. It will surely provoke, agitate, and force those who read it to re-think their ideas about the ancient world. It is my hope that it will also play a part in raising up a new generation of ancient historians who will continue to investigate the evidence, continue to search for archeological clues, and continue the ongoing discussion of the historical events recorded in the Old Testament. Rob Shearer, Publisher Greenleaf Press about David Rohl David Rohl is recognized as the UK’s highest profile Egyptologist and one of the world’s bestknown historians. With degrees in Egyptology, Ancient History, Mycenaean Archaeology and Levantine Archaeology, David is a genuine scholar with a full list of academic credentials but, at the same time, is a highly original thinker. He is recognised in the Christian evangelical communities as a non-believing scholar prepared to defend the historicity of the Bible. For that, and his convincing arguments based on archaeology, he is regularly asked to present his thesis to large church audiences. Arguments based on his work are now used as official examples of how best to answer questions for the current A-level examination papers in the UK. Jewish boys are taught the David Rohl version of the Torah story in preparation for their Barmitzvas. Seminary lecturers in the USA teach the Old Testament to their students using David Rohl’s books as their guides. Greenleaf Press, along with Stretch Productions, is very pleased to be able to make David Rohl’s books available in the US again.
