Understanding the Dead Sea Scrolls
King David: Legend or History?
Guy Couturier
Originally presented February 26, 2004
Dr. Guy Couturier, member of the Royal Society of Canada, looked
at the discovery of the Tel Dan inscription (the earliest reference
to the House of David) and at the links between biblical texts and
archaeology.
Dr. Couturier is an internationally renowned orientalist and Old Testament
specialist. His work relates directly to the archaeological and
epigraphical discoveries in the Ancient Middle-East, which provide the
context for any critical reading of the Hebrew Bible. His extensive
research has been three-pronged: in linguistics, the comparison of
Hebrew with the other Semitic languages; in archaeology, the study
of the politics and the civil and religious institutions of ancient Israel;
and in literature, the types and scope of the various literary forms
used to transmit historical memory and religious beliefs.
