It Ain't Necessarily So by Matthew Sturgis

In six 30-minute programmes scheduled for transmission in autumn 2001 John McCarthy travels through the Holy Land to examine the validity or otherwise of stories from the Old Testament. Bringing in history, archaeology and new research, his intriguing journey is the subject of this thought-provoking tie-in which looks at: the truth behind Jericho's 'tumbling' walls; the mystery of the Promised Land; who was Solomon; when did the Jews become monotheists; what was Zion; and when was the text of the Old Testament actually written? The book offers fresh, sometimes unsettling, perspectives on the Bible and its history.
Matthew Sturgis is a renowned writer with special interest in historical subjects. He contributes frequently to the Daily Telegraph and also writes for Harpers & Queen, Interiors, ES and The Times Literary Supplement.
