This volume makes a positive intervention into
maximalist/minimalist debates about Israelite historiography by
pointing to the events that happened during the Persian and
Hellenistic periods. During this historical epoch, traditions about
Israel and Judah's founding became fixed as markers of ethnic
identity, and much of the canonical Hebrew Bible came into its
present form. Concentrating on these events, a clearer historical
picture emerges. The entire volume is set within the context of
Douglas A. Knight's contributions, which have encouraged a rigorous
social-scientific and tradition-historical approach to the Hebrew
Bible and ancient Israel in general.
