For centuries, the Western tradition has traced its beginnings back to ancient Israel, but some historians have questioned the reality of Israel as it is described in biblical literature. This book explores the controversies regarding the nature of ancient Israel and presents archaeological evidence for assessing the accuracy of the Bible stories.
William G Dever is Professor of Near Eastern Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Arizona, USA. He is the author of 25 books including What Did the Biblical Writers Know and When Did They Know It? published by Eerdmans.
* "William Dever treats Israel's origins as no one before him ever has. This unique, lively synthesis of the archaeological and textual data will shape our understanding of Israel's emergence for years. " - Baruch Halpern, Pennsylvania State University
