F. Delich epub The Bible and Babylon.

The classic historical-archaeological research of the German scientist by the results of excavations at the site of ancient Babylon. This book is the content of the three readings of the famous German Friedrich Assyriologist Delic, was soon published a separate edition (Babel und Bidel, ein Vortrag von Friedrich Delitzch). Immediately after the publication of this work has made a stir among wide circles of the reading public, and among theologians. Bold text-matching Bible extant fragments of Babylonian and Assyrian literature and a lot of new information included in this Delitzsch, up to that time little to investigate the history of the region, brought upon the author accusations of wanting to undermine the foundations of religion, drop the divine character of origin of biblical stories. However, these attacks should be recognized as a completely untenable. After all, the Bible Delić give many clues to his discovery, which in turn have confirmed some of the historical facts in the biblical texts. In his study Delic in a lively and entertaining manner he tells about the results of a very successful Assyrian-Babylonian excavations, as well as opens new pages of ancient history of the Middle East. The author's text is accompanied by numerous visual illustrations.
