Pharaoh's Power: Historical Fiction in the Bible

What if the Bible stories were not merely tales of morality and miracles, but narratives designed to shape your very faith and perception of power? Through the centuries, stories have wielded profound influence - but recorded histories tend to overlook the religious, historical, and propagandic contexts that shape these accounts.

Pharaoh's Power: Historical Fiction in the Bible combines literary analysis of the Bible with historical context to illustrate how our understanding of biblical narratives has diverged over time. Arguing that the Book of Exodus may resemble historical fiction more than factual history, this book will guide you through:

• A comprehensive examination of Egypt's Pharaohs to address the misconception of Pharaoh's absolute power
• Egypt's administrative structures and building programs
• The influence of Mesopotamia
• The origins of the Jewish nation
