After Jerusalem, Bethel is the most frequently cited sanctuary in
the Hebrew Bible. The book offers a detailed analysis of Bethel and
its sanctuary from archaeological and biblical evidence. It
reconstructs the history of Bethel and by analysing the presence of
pro- and anti-Bethel propaganda, it argues that the latter, with
its own pro-Jerusalem/Judah bias, has resulted in an unfair
denigration of Bethel as an idolatrous place of worship. The study
suggests that Bethel was a legitimate Yahwistic shrine and
continued to be so even after the fall of the Northern Kingdom of
Israel to the Assyrians. Hence, Bethel in a real sense was the
principal means of configuring Israelite identity.
