"In
the following landmark two-hour special, NOVA takes viewers on a
scientific journey that began 3,000 years ago and continues today. The
film presents the latest archeological scholarship from the Holy Land to
explore the beginnings of modern religion and the origins of the Hebrew
Bible, also known as the Old Testament. This archeological detective
story tackles some of the biggest questions in biblical studies: Where
did the ancient Israelites come from? Who wrote the Bible, when, and
why? How did the worship of one God—the foundation of modern Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam—emerge?"
