2020: It took awhile to read 22 essays. They are all interesting, but some are better than others.
Mostly of interest to LDS readers, but there is enough general information in most of them to satisfy curiosity about Old Testament times.
Copious scholarly endnotes for all of them.

2024: Read again and made more notes.
Several chapters discuss the connections between Israel and Egypt, in order to explain why Lehi's family knew Egyptian and had some Egyptian names.
Chapter 4 describes Lehi's show more possible inheritance in the hereditary Land of Manasseh, and why his family was in Jerusalem.
Chapter 8 on Nephi's Hebrew makes a persuasive claim for authenticity of the Book of Mormon.
Chapter 17 by Margaret Barker: What did Josiah Reform? -- builds on her work deciphering the substance of Judaism before the Second Temple.

EL TEMPLO DE SALOMON: HISTORIA Y MITO

El Templo de Salomón ha sido fuente de fascinación y foco de profunda reverencia espiritual durante más de tres mil años. Desde sus antecedentes en la Edad del Bronce, con los santuarios portátiles de las tribus nómadas, pasando por numerosas modificaciones en el judaísmo, el cristianismo y el islam, la idea del Templo de Salomón ha demostrado tener una inagotable capacidad de seducción.. El edificio sagrado propiamente dicho fue destruido en show more más de una ocasión, la última por los romanos en el año 70 d.C., aunque la gran iglesia de Hagia Sophia en Estambul, la Cúpula de la Roca en Jerusalén y numerosas catedrales medievales fueron concebidas como recreaciones simbólicas del original salomónico. Los nigromantes medievales practicaban la magia con objeto de dominar a los demonios que, según se creía, habían participado en la construcción del Templo, y los místicos de todas las creencias tenían visiones de un Templo celestial que era reflejo del terrenal y en el cual los secretos divinos le serían revelados a la humanidad.. El Templo de Salomón. Historia y mito se basa en textos sagrados y escritos místicos, en obras de arte y arquitectónicas, en fotografías y reconstrucciones modernas, para revelar los miles de caminos por los que el Templo y el suelo sagrado en el que se levantó han inspirado al ser humano a lo largo de los siglos. Los autores se enfrentan tanto a historias académicas como a mitos modernos, de carácter totalmente especulativo, ejemplificados por relatos populares como El código Da Vinci de Dan Brown y En busca del Arca perdida de Steven Spielberg. Su vívido relato es una garantía de información y entretenimiento para cualquier lector con sentido de la historia, tanto real como imaginaria.. Con 201 ilustraciones, 145 en color show less
