One hundred and fifty years of sustained archaeological
investigation has yielded a more complete picture of the ancient
Near East. The Old Testament in Archaeology and History combines
the most significant of these archaeological findings with those of
modern historical and literary analysis of the Bible to recount the
history of ancient Israel and its neighboring nations and empires.
Eighteen international authorities contribute chapters to this
introductory volume. After exploring the history of modern
archaeological research in the Near East and the evolution of
"biblical archaeology" as a discipline, this textbook follows the
Old Testament's general chronological order, covering such key
aspects as the exodus from Egypt, Israel's settlement in Canaan,
the rise of the monarchy under David and Solomon, the period of the
two kingdoms and their encounters with Assyrian power, the
kingdoms' ultimate demise, the exile of Judahites to Babylonia, and
the Judahites' return to Jerusalem under the Persians along with
the advent of "Jewish" identity.Each chapter is tailored for an
audience new to the history of ancient Israel in its biblical and
ancient Near Eastern setting. The end result is an introduction to
ancient Israel combined with and illuminated by more than a century
of archaeological research. The volume brings together the
strongest results of modern research into the biblical text and
narrative with archaeological and historical analysis to create an
understanding of ancient Israel as a political and religious entity
based on the broadest foundation of evidence. This combination of
literary and archaeological data provides new insights into the
complex reality experienced by the peoples reflected in the
biblical narratives.
