The Bible of Clay

Original Novel Title: The Bible of Clay
Author: Julia Navarro; translated from the Spanish La Biblia de Barro by Andrew Hurley
Publisher: Barcelona: Random House Mondadori, 2006 (hardcover); New York: Bantam, March 2008 (hardcover)


According to the Publisher's Weekly review published on Amazon.com, "In Iraq, shortly before the current war, Iraqi archeologist Clara Tannenberg announces an incredible find: two cuneiform clay tablets that refer to another set of tablets that record the biblical patriarch Abraham's story of the creation of the earth. The twist is that this clay bible with Abraham's narrative was written a thousand years before the papyrus version we know today."
