Works on Old Testament historiography, the 'Conquest', and the
origins of ancient Israel have burgeoned in recent days. But while
others have been issuing new reconstructions this novel work
presents a close reading of the biblical text. The focus is on the
literary techniques that ancient writers employed in narrating
stories of conquest, and the aim is to pinpoint their communicative
intentions in their own contexts. This reading is enhanced by
engagement with the important discipline of the philosophy of
history. Ancient Conquest accounts, replete with extensive
quotations from Assyrian, Hittite and Egyptian conquest accounts,
is a learned and methodologically sensitive study of a wide range
of ancient Near Eastern texts as well as of Joshua 9-12.
