Summary "Tell el Amarna and the Bible" by Charles F. Pfeiffer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the archaeological discoveries associated with the Amarna Age in ancient Egypt, particularly focusing on the relationship between these findings and biblical narratives. It delves into the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaton, his religious reforms, and their implications for understanding the historical context of the Hebrew Bible. The opening of the work establishes the significance of the Amarna Age, setting the stage for the discoveries at the archaeological site of Amarna, where a trove of clay tablets known as the Amarna Tablets was uncovered. Pfeiffer details the historical background leading to these finds, touching upon the impact of earlier Egyptian expeditions and their contributions to understanding ancient Egyptian civilization. The narrative introduces key figures, including Akhenaton and Amenhotep III, while discussing the political and religious dynamics of their time, thus framing the ongoing interplay between these ancient events and their biblical relevance.
