Its strength is that it is a full length scholarly study from a major university press by a specialist in Egyptology. Its limit is that Hoffmeier argues one side of a live scholarly disagreement over the Exodus's historicity, so the substantial body of scholarship skeptical of a historical Exodus should also be checked to see the debate fairly.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (11 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested2Reliability tier 2: a full length scholarly study from a major university press by a specialist, arguing one side of a live scholarly disagreement.NotesWell-attestedScholarly study of the historical and archaeological evidence for the Exodus tradition, Oxford University Press, 1997.CitationAuthorWell-attestedJames K.
