The definitive book on the archaeology of Palestine from Alexander
the Great's conquest to Constantine's reign Drawing on the most
recent, groundbreaking archaeological research, Eric M. Meyers and
Mark A. Chancey re-narrate the history of ancient Palestine in this
richly illustrated and expertly integrated book. Spanning from the
conquest of Alexander the Great in the fourth century BCE until the
reign of the Roman emperor Constantine in the fourth century CE,
they synthesize archaeological evidence with ancient literary
sources (including the Bible) to offer a sustained overview of the
tumultuous intellectual and religious changes that impacted world
history during the Greco-Roman period. The authors demonstrate how
the transformation of the ancient Near East under the influence of
the Greeks and then the Romans led to foundational changes in both
the material and intellectual worlds of the Levant. Palestine's
subjection to Hellenistic kingdoms, its rule by the Hasmonean and
Herodian dynasties, the two disastrous Jewish revolts against Rome,
and its full incorporation into the Roman Empire provide a
background for the emergence of Christianity. The authors observe
in the archaeological record how Judaism and Christianity were
virtually undistinguishable for centuries, until the rise of
imperial Christianity with Emperor Constantine. The only
book-length overview available that focuses on the archaeology of
Palestine in this period, this comprehensive and powerfully
illuminating work sheds new light on the lands of the Bible.
