The Bible Came From Arabia – Kamal Salibi

The Bible Came from Arabia

By Kamal Salibi

“I BELIEVE I HAVE MADE A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY, WHICH SHOULD MAKE POSSIBLE A RADICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT”

Kamal Salibi, Professor of History at the American University of Beirut, reveals startling linguistic evidence which controversially suggests that Judaism originated not in Palestine but in west Arabia.

Whilst looking at the gazetteer of Saudi place names, he noticed a remarkable concentration of Biblical place names in an area of 600km long by 200km wide (the Region of ‘Asir). Ancient Hebrew, like Arabic, was written without vowels. Salibi believes that scholars of the sixth century might have added the vowels wrongly when standardizing texts, and so he went back to the original unvowelled Old Testament to prove his theory – and he did.

The Geography of Palestine has never corresponded in any way to the apparently specific stores in the Bible. Salibi’s research authenticates the events as history for the first time – but within an Arabia Setting.

This book has cause a predictable storm amongst academics and politicians. The issue is for such importance that everyone should read the evidence first-hand.
