Canaanites explores the ancient population of the Western Levant
(Israel, Transjordan, Lebanon, and coastal Syria), examining the
development of its distinctive culture from the early farming
communities of the eighth millennium B.C. to the fragmentation of
its social and cultural ideals in the latter half of the first
millennium B.C.
Jonathan N. Tubb makes judicious use of the Hebrew Bible in
describing Canaanite culture. He views the Bible as a rich resource
for understanding the literary and theological heritage of Israel,
which he classifies as a subculture of Canaan. At the same time he
reveals the limitations of the Bible as a historical document,
arguing that to reconstruct the Canaanites' history we must first
look at the archaeological data.
Tubb stresses the continuity of Canaanite civilization,
portraying events such as the imposition of Egyptian imperial rule
and the development of historical Israel as episodic
interruptions.
