Secrets of the Bible and A Truer Middle East History
From my historian friend Bob Smith:
For Kamal Salibi, who died last Thursday after a stroke, was perhaps the finest historian of the modern – and the old – Middle East, fluent in ancient Hebrew as well as his native Arabic, his English flawless, a man whose work must surely shine into the future as it has illuminated the past. In one sense, his desire to deconstruct history, his almost Eliot-like precision in dissecting the false story of the Maronites of Lebanon, his highly mischievous – and linguistically brilliant – suggestion that the tales of the Old Testament took place in what is now Saudi Arabia, rather than Palestine, made him a revolutionary. (Plus other serious works.)

There are other great works of Kamal Salibi; A House of Many Mansions: The History of Lebanon Reconsidered, however, for now I'll leave you to do the searching . . . Salibi sought through scientific-historical research to overcome inherited beliefs which had taken on a sacred character in the Middle East.
