Imagine Jerusalem around 600 BC, the world of Lehi, Sariah, Laban, Zoram, Josiah, and Jeremiah. How did people live? What motivated them? And what eventually destroyed their city? The answers to such questions foster better understanding of the prophetic words of Lehi, Nephi, and Jacob in the Book of Mormon. Much of that era was lost forever when Jerusalem met its prophesied fate and was destroyed by the Babylonians. The Temple of Solomon and the city walls were torn down, buildings burned, treasuries looted, people killed or deported, records lost or destroyed, and certain religious beliefs changed or extinguished.

2020: It took awhile to read 22 essays. They are all interesting, but some are better than others. Mostly of interest to LDS readers, but there is enough general information in most of them to satisfy curiosity about Old Testament times. Copious scholarly endnotes for all of them.
2024: Read again and made more notes. Several chapters discuss the connections between Israel and Egypt, in order to explain why Lehi's family knew Egyptian and had some Egyptian names. Chapter 4 describes Lehi's possible inheritance in the hereditary Land of Manasseh, and why his family was in Jerusalem. Chapter 8 on Nephi's Hebrew makes a persuasive claim for authenticity of the Book of Mormon. Chapter 17 by Margaret Barker: What did Josiah Reform? -- builds on her work deciphering the substance of Judaism before the Second Temple. ( )
