Professor Eric M. Meyers joins Eve Harow to discuss his incredibly prolific career as a Jewish historian and philosopher, modern Biblical archaeologist and university professor. He shares memories of 60 years of digging in the holy land along with his wife, Carol and thousands of students. Crises lead to immense creativity on a national level and excavations help illuminate the story. How much did other civilizations influence Judaism? Were we multi-cultural in the post Temple era? His newly published memoir, initially written for his grandchildren, gives a glimpse of this brilliant man’s world view. A real privilege to hear him and may we continue to benefit from his knowledge for many years (even if you don’t necessarily agree with his conclusions).
