What the Bible Really Says about Peace
by David Hazony
Price: $2.99 USD. 11140 words.
Published by Matá on June 30, 2012. .
In 1998, biblical scholar David Hazony began his writing career asking a simple, yet beguiling question: What does the Bible really mean when it uses the word "Shalom," or "peace"? Going through dozens of prophetic and biblical texts about peace, Hazony shows that the concept is radically different from what most people think - and could offer us a whole new approach to world affairs.

Does Archaeology Prove the Bible?
by David Hazony
Price: $0.99 USD. 4650 words. Published by Matá on May 14, 2012. .
For a century, archaeological expeditions have backed up many of the stories presented in the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament). In recent years, however, a new generation of scholars has emerged claiming that the Bible is mostly a myth -- and that archaeology doesn't prove a thing. In this 2003 essay, author David Hazony shows the hidden assumptions in this high-stakes game.
