Queen of Sheba and Biblical Scholarship. by Leeman, bernard - 2005

Australia: Queensland Academic Press, 2005. xii, 253pp, index, bibliography, appendices. Purple card. Near new. Examines evidence connected with the Queen of Sheba, including Sabaean inscriptions on the Ethiopian plateau, aspects of the West Arabian language, Arabian Judaism and early geographical references. Argues that the Old Testament is an accurate record but that events described pre-586 BCE took place not in Palestine, but in West Arabia and to a lesser extent in Ethiopia and Eritrea. If ture this would undermine the raison d'etre of Israel and force a reassessment of Biblical, Arabian and North East African history.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Fine. 8vo.
