Patrich D. Miller investigates the role religion played in the
family, village, tribe, and nation-state of ancient Israel. He
situates Israel's religion in context where a variety of social
forces affected beliefs, and where popular cults openly competed
with the "official" religion. He makes extensive use of both
epigraphic and artifactual evidence as he probes the complexities
of Iron Age culture and society.
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.
