There is a lot in the news lately about the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt--did it or did it not happen? I don't know why this popped up now, maybe it's cyclical. There is no doubt the exodus happened. Now it seems the debate is WHERE did the Israelites cross the "Red Sea?" That's the purpose of this book. It has long been assumed that this parting of the sea took place at the Gulf of Suez near Egypt. However, some scholars say this is not the place, but it was nearer the Gulf of Aqaba, some distance from Egypt. This book was expertly researched and the author's analysis is good. That being said, it is still conjecture, as there is no archaeological information for either site. Good read which required me to pull up some good maps and also read and re-read parts of the book of Exodus. 352 pages ( )
