An authors' spotlight - ancient near east in the bible

We are delighted to finally announce the second book written by Dr. Ron Choong - Ancient near East in the Bible: Treasures from the Met Museum.  Along with World's Oldest Bible, they are now both available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

"If you are a museum lover, one of top 5 in the world is surely the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The others are in London, Paris, Berlin and St Petersburg. In this book, largely written during Covid 2020-2021, I introduced the importance of museums as depositories of learning. 

Christianity is a faith based on the written word. It is not surprising then that the Ancient Near East, Abraham’s homeland, plays such a foundation role to the writing of the Bible. Within the ANE, Canaanite became the eventual home of Moses’ spiritual descendants and the geographical origin of biblical Israel. In 1928, a stunning discovery of Canaanite texts in Ugarit in modern Syria set the stage for amazing advances in understanding the Bible. I included almost three dozen full color photos of artifacts from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s ANE gallery, along with their relevance to the Bible. 

I hope this will serve as a helpful guide especially to those who are unable to make a trip to New York City. The book is also accompanied by dramatic and visually stunning infographics to summarize the Muses, the NE civilizations, the Canaanite Gods, and the Ugaritic Library." - Ron Choong

This book, along with World's Oldest Bible - Science and the Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, are available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Lulu.com.
