Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Niels Peter Lemche <npl AT teol.ku.dk>]

Is this volume the same as 'Pharaohs and Kings: A Biblical Quest! published
1997?

I found on the amazon.com the following description of the content as
published by the editor:

Pharaohs and Kings reveals the Old Testament to be a true account of the
history of the Jewish people ... it will appeal to the vast audience for
revisionist archaeology and history as well as to the many Christian and
Jewish readers who accept the historical validity of the Bible ...

Who said that Rohl was exclusively interested in egyptology?
