During his five years in captivity he had very little reading material, but the one book he did have was the Bible. He read it cover to cover twice and was intrigued by the stories of the Old Testament. But how much of this "history" is actually true? Did Joshua's trumpets fell the walls of Jerico? Did Solomon build a temple at Jerusalem? In an effort to answer these question McCarthy returned to the Middle East to visit the sites mentioned in the Bible, to speak to the local archaeologists and historians in an effort to find out the truth of the biblical past. .
