" the author presents the various arguments of the people involved
in this debate. He gives the views of evangelical scholars who
believe in the trustworthiness of the biblical text, the views of
those who present a minimalist or revisionist view of the text, and
the views of those who are in between. In the end, he presents his
own views and conclusions in light of the biblical and
archaeological evidence. Hawkins recognizes the merits of the
biblical text without rejecting the evidence provided by the
archaeological data...the book contains many black and white
pictures, a list of the archaeological periods, the names of all
the pharaohs of the Eighteenth and the Nineteenth Dynasties,
several charts, and a Glossary that explains many of the terms used
in the book. How Israel Became a People is a book worth reading.
Those who do so will gain a wealth of information about early
Israel." --Claude Mariottini, Professor of Old Testament, Northern
Baptist Seminary"
