Biblical Hebrew Forum

["Jack Kilmon" <jkilmon AT historian.net>]

Not really, Arnaud.  There is an entire genre of popular books based on 
really silly fictive Biblical "discoveries," some by credentialed scholars 
that appear to have defected to the "dark side" for much more money than a 
university professor makes.  Good scholarship is not a "men's club" that is 
responsible only to their own circle of colleagues but, imo, has a duty to 
inform or re-inform a public misled by the hucksters of nonsense.  This not 
an exclusive money making scheme by non-credentialed preacher-archaeologists 
uncovering the Ark of the Covenant or Noah's big wooden boat except real 
academics chasing the book royalties can make it sound believable and 
compelling.
