Prophets & Pharaohs: Egypt and the Old Testament: Coalescing Facts and Faith - Paperback

by Ahmed Abul Ella (Author)

Ahmed M. Abul Ella explores some of the best-known stories and beliefs surrounding Egypt's role in the Old Testament. The author's writing offers a brave and, at times, controversial view of certain long-disputed debates that surround this fascinating era in world history, as he looks at events from an Egyptian standpoint. The author calls upon his extensive research and knowledge to present a wealth of information. He examines the enduring contradictions between events written in the Old Testament and those found on Ancient Egyptian temple walls, tombs, stelae, and papyri. Using well-known facts from the world of Egyptology, he is able to assign a fascinating historical context to the Old Testament stories. He proves conclusively that many of the Bible stories from the Old Testament do not sit comfortably with the indisputable chronology shown by Ancient Egyptian relics and artifacts. In addition to using clues from Ancient Egypt, the author provides a fresh viewpoint on the Exodus story by looking at the Koranic narratives in which Moses plays a key role. "Ahmed M. Abul Ella offers a vibrant and insightful perspective on one of the most crucial yet enigmatic events connected with Ancient Middle East history: the Exodus of the Hebrews with Moses and the story's interpretation in both the Old Testament and the Koran." - Miroslav B rta
