Internet Infidels' Book of the Month deals specifically with the topic of this forum, and I thought I'd mention it to those interested.

The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of its Sacred Texts is available right now, and if you order it soon, and finish reading it by the end of March, you can join in the discussions in the II Book Club, located a few clicks above this forum.
