Leonid Gomberg's book "Essays on Biblical History" continues the gem, which he has been working on for more than two decades. During this time, several books have been published, including "Israel and Pharaoh" (2009), which has attracted the attention of readers and specialists. "The Voice of the Desert" (2014). "The Good Land beyond Jordan" (2017). dozens of articles and essays in which the events described in the Bible are considered by the author from a historical and philosophical point of view. In the new work, the author rethinks many of the events and characters he wrote about in previous years, and provides the text with new facts that have become the property of science: he develops some plots for the first time. The narrative covers the events of the first seven books of the Bible — the Pentateuch of Moses, as well as the Books of Joshua and Judges — from the creation of the world and man to the establishment of the Kingdom of Israel. The author provides convincing evidence of the historicity of the biblical characters and the relevance of many of the problems they had to solve several thousand years ago. "The author has completely succeeded in two important perspectives of understanding biblical history: the enormous role of what is commonly called the geographical factor, and convincing portraits of historical characters separated from us by layers of thousands of years and the long myth—making of numerous generations of people," wrote N. I. Basovskaya, Doctor of Historical Sciences. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in one of the most important books of mankind.
