I think that the best way to read The Source is to ask yourself these two questions after reading each chapter... 1) Are the historical characters similar enough to any of the current characters to support the idea that history repeats itself, suggesting that people refuse to learn and/or obey God's law, or perhaps don't understand the lessons that the law teaches? 2) Do divine events in The Source serve a consistent purpose through time? If so, does that mean that the old law still possesses significance today?

I’ve read this book many times. I needed a new copy. The story itself is always compelling, even for a book published 60 years ago.

I recently borrowed this book from the library and wanted a copy of my own. It is an amazing story of an archeological team and their work revealing the history of Israel as they uncover the layers of a fictional tel. A truly fascinating book -- very well researched. Months later, I still find myself thinking about it. Anyone planning a trip to Israel should consider reading it first.
