About the Show
NOVA: This documentary special breaks exciting new ground in investigating the origins of the ancient Israelites, their faith in a single all-powerful God and the creation of the Bible. NOVA examines the most pressing issues in biblical archaeology by bringing together, for the first time on film, more than a century of literary detective work and decades of archaeological excavation in the Holy Land to challenge many long-held assumptions. A story of science, history and faith, this film reveals provocative new insights that will leave a lasting impact.
