Publisher's Description
Covering the period of the thirteenth century B.C.E. to the fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C.E., Isserling, a senior scholar, synthesizes the social, historical, geographical, and archaeological materials relevant to studying ancient Israel in its ancient Near Eastern context. Isserlin has an accessible style and brings the latest in biblical research to students and general readers. The stunning array of 85 photographs-plus maps, line drawings, and charts-make this a rich resource for scholars as well.
Endorsements (1)
“The Israelites has many strengths. Chief among these is the breadth of its coverage...Isserlin makes more use of archaeological data than any comparable work I know. If the average reader of BAR...wants to purchase a single reference work, it should probably be Isserlin's The Israelites.”
