I have listed all the books I found at the library that mention 586/87 as the fall of Jerusalem. There are probably even more.
I was also able to link to all of them (except the first one listed) on Amazon.com! Many are out of print or unavailable as NEW books but you can buy almost ALL OF THEM USED on Amazon.com ... some are only $10-12 each! Very cool!
Enjoy!

The real date is 607 BCE because the Faithful Discreet Slave says so.

ithinkisee- Thanks so much for the list.
Add to your list a simple history book with timeline on each page that I got on sale at Borders & Books: Investigate World History, This is a Dempsey Parrr Book published in 2000, authors ANita Ganeri, Hazel Mary Martell, Brian Williams.
I just happened to have bought this on sale and when it came to my attention last year on History Channel program on God that Jerusalem fell in 586/587 BCE, I went to this book expecting to see 607BCE and found out it read 586BCE. So started my quest for truth.

I did a search on the name Jehovah one time. Here we have a Baptist seminary with a rather large library. I filled up a binder with copies. The name is a mistake, 607 is a mistake, the whole religion is a mistake.
The 607 stuff isn't relevant anymore anyway. I think the creative day chronology went in the dumpster when the Society accepted the old earth concept in the Reasoning From The Scriptures book in the 1980's. They want it both ways. It's laughable.

I am surpised that you do not provide a list of books that support 589 and 588 for the Fall of Jerusalem as possible candidates in addition to the problematic dates of 586 and 587. Despite the fact that the Jonsson hypothesis has been advocating 587 for more than twenty years with its self-procalimed evidence, the precise year of the Fall of Jerusalem remains unknown. WT scholars demonstrate by means of the biblical evidence that the precise year is 607 which is proven by the fulfillment of prophecy with the Gentile Times expiring in 1914 which introduced an unprecedented woes for mankind ever since. Therfore, 607 is the only viable date for that epochal event in the sixth century BCE.

Scholar-
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. You stated: "Therfore, 607 is the only viable date for that epochal event in the sixth century BCE."
In that light, you believe the event to have happened in the 6th century BCE, exactly - 587/586. What century is 607 BCE in? I think you finally have agreed with Jonsson...now it's time (as difficult as it may be) to say, "they messed up. The WTS is wrong." Repeat after me - "they messed up. The WTS is wrong."

Scholar,
I'm surprised you didn't provide me a list of books showing support for 607 BC as the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem.
Oh wait ... there aren't any.

PS: I didn't find any books that show 588 or 589. I woudl be interested in those too. But even still - that is much closer than 607 BC.

Interesting choice of words. You used the phrase "the Jonsson-hypothesis", in your attempt at making it sound like his views on the matter is just "one of many views", and that the 586/587-date is his personal, and definitely disputable "hypothesis". Well, guess what, "Scholar": There is no "Jonsson-hypothesis". There is a Jonsson, who, in spite of massive Watchtower-propaganda, has tried to educate witnesses and ex-witnesses about what serious, academic research has shown to be the fact. There is a Jonsson who tries to at least get the info out there (to the poor souls trapped in witnoid-hell), that the entire rest of the world, and the entire world of academia agrees on one thing, that Jerusalem fell in 586 or 587! Even the WTbts taught this, once upon a time, until they realised that by changing it to 607, they could get a magical number from the bible (2520 years) to fit in with the 1914-doctrine, which originally was taught to be the year Armageddon would come, not Christs invisible presence, because at that time, Christ presence was taught to have been in place since 1874!
So, just for fun, Scholar: Show us just one book, written by a serious academic, that says Jerusalem fell in 607 (Furuli doesn`t count, because he`s a JW)!

Scholar?
Books. We want books ....
C'mon ... there's gotta at least be one, right?

(Sad ... there isn't even a WT book that can prove it.)
