August 23, 2025I had the opportunity to read this early. Here's my official endorsement:
Hoffmeier has left no stone unturned in his quest for evidence of Israel's presence in Egypt, for the most plausible route of the exodus, and for its most likely date. His decades of field experience as an archaeologist paired with his extensive on-the-ground experience reading monuments and scouring museums in Egypt uniquely qualifies him to assess the state of the evidence. In this second expanded edition of his well-regarded Israel in Egypt, Hoffmeier brings readers on a scholarly expedition to catch up on the past 25 years of archaeology, philology, textual analysis, geological and geographical survey to illuminate Israel's exodus from Egypt. He not only ably demonstrates its historical plausibility but also offers compelling reasons to reconsider some of the most 'assured results of scholarship.' I'm grateful for his considerable work to bring all of us up to date on the pertinent questions.
