Biblical Archaeology
. .
Michael Baum
A journey through the history of the Jewish people.
Does archaeology support the biblical narrative? How far back can we trace our origins? What is molecular genealogy?
Professor Michael Baum qualified in medicine at Birmingham University in 1960. He held chairs of surgery at Kings College London, the Institute of Cancer Research, and University College London. On retiring as a professor of surgery at University College London in 2010, he spent the rest of his career teaching
and promoting “medical humanities” including fine art, literature, and philosophy. He was a medical officer at the Masada dig and researched biblical archaeology at the Palestine Exploration Fund.
Michael is also the author of a trilogy of thrilling novels: The Third Tablet of the Holy Covenant; Aaron's Rod; and The Nile Delta
Mystery.
