<< FWIW, I used to have a copy of _Ancient Orient and Old Testament_, by
Kenneth Kitchen, published probably over 20 years ago. The book used
archaeological findings to verify scriptural accounts. One that comes to
mind is the covenantal ceremony in Gen. 15:9ff., which was said to be
similar to other ceremonies of that time period.

Also in the for-what-it's-worth category, biblical scholar James Barr in his
book "Fundamentalism" subjects Kitchen's book (and Kitchen's unexpressed
presuppositions) to a withering critique.
