New PBS documentary called ‘The Bible’s Buried Secrets’ says, Abraham didn’t exist? The Exodus didn’t happen? William Dever, an archaeologist who specializes in Israel’s history says, “It challenges the Bible’s stories if you want to read them literally, and that will disturb many people, but it explains how and why these stories ever came to be told in the first place, and how and why they were written down.”
The program says the Bible was written in the sixth century BC and that hundreds of authors contributed. “At least the first five books of the Bible come together during the Babylonian exile,” says producer Gary Glassman.

What do you think?
