The history of biblical Israel, as it is told in the Hebrew Bible,
differs substantially from the history of ancient Israel as it can
be reconstructed using ancient Near Eastern texts and
archaeological evidence. In A Concise History of Ancient Israel,
Bernd U. Schipper uses this evidence to present a critical revision
of the history of Israel and Judah from the late second millennium
BCE to the beginning of the Roman period. Considering
archaeological material as well as biblical and extrabiblical
texts, Schipper argues that the history of "Israel" in the
preexilic period took place mostly in the hinterland of the Levant
and should be understood in the context of the Neo-Assyrian
expansion. He demonstrates that events in the exilic and postexilic
periods also played out differently than they are recounted in the
biblical books of Ezra and Nehemiah. In contrast to previous
scholarship, which focused heavily on Israel's origins and the
monarchic period, Schipper's history gives equal attention to the
Persian and early Hellenistic periods, providing confirmation that
a wide variety of forms of YHWH religion existed in the Persian
period and persisted into the Hellenistic age. Original and
innovative, this brief history provides a new outline of the
historical development of ancient Israel that will appeal to
students, scholars, and lay readers who desire a concise overview.
