In this volume, Norman Gottwald reconstructs the politics of
ancient Israel within the larger political environment of the
ancient Near East. He questions the prevailing view that the Hebrew
Bible, supported by archeological evidence when necessary, should
be the primary source to diagram the evolution of Israel's
political history. Along with a thorough and nuanced discussion of
the matrix of ancient Near Eastern politics, Gottwald suggests how
the monarchies of Israel and Judah developed. With imaginative and
masterful insight, Gottwald tackles head-on the problems of
religion, power, and politics in the history of ancient Israel.
Volumes in the Library of Ancient Israel draw on multiple
disciplines--such as archaeology, anthropology, sociology,
linguistics, and literary criticism--to illuminate the everyday
realities and social subtleties these ancient cultures experienced.
This series employs sophisticated methods resulting in original
contributions that depict the reality of the people behind the
Hebrew Bible and interprets these insights for a wide variety of
readers.
