DocumentaryStorm has posted all three episodes of the recent BBC production The Bible’s Buried Secrets, hosted by Dr Francesca Stavrakopoulou of the University of Exeter. [Update: now on YouTube]

Episode 1: Did King David’s Empire Exist?

A national hero and icon for the Jewish people, and a divine king for Christians, David is best known as the boy-warrior who defeated the Philistine giant Goliath. As king, he united the tribes of Israel. But did he really rule over a vast Israelite kingdom? Did he even exist?

Episode 2: Did God Have a Wife?

When submitted to rigorous analysis, the biblical texts actually reveal quite another story. I think that the evidence now shows that the people of the Bible believed in many gods. And the scribes who composed the Bible did their best to conceal this – but not altogether successfully.

Episode 3: The Real Garden of Eden
