This volume provides a series of contributions on the crucial
aspects relating to the Bible and the Late Bronze Age period. The
volume is introduced with a background essay surveying the main
areas of history and current scholarship relating to Late Bronze
Age Palestine and to the Egyptian New Kingdom (Dynasties 18-20)
domination of the region, as well as the question of the biblical
account of the same geographical area and historical period.
Specific chapters address a range of key concerns: the history of
Egypt's dealing with Canaan is surveyed in chapters by Grabbe and
Dijkstra. The Amarna texts are also dealt with by Lemche, Mayes and
Grabbe. The archaeology is surveyed by van der Steen. The Merenptah
Stela mentioning Israel is of considerable interest and is
discussed especially by Dijkstra. This leads on to the burning
question of the origins of Israel which several of the contributors
address. Another issue is whether the first Israelite communities
practised egalitarianism, an issue taken up by Guillaume, with a
response by Kletter.
