Description
It is hard to find an area within the field of ancient Near Eastern studies that has undergone such fundamental changes in recent years as the history of Israel. Many classical theses are no longer tenable, whether they pertain to the origins of Israel at the end of the second millennium BC, the royal period, the Babylonian exile, or the Persian period. In this new publication from 2023, Bernd U. Schipper describes the history of ancient Israel in a completely new way based on archaeological and other non-biblical sources. His focus includes Israeli cities, events, temples, and cults that the Bible remains silent about. Anyone who wants to learn about the history that forms the backdrop of biblical stories based on the latest historical research should definitely read this book. Bernd U. Schipper, born in 1968, is a professor of the Old Testament at Humboldt University in Berlin, specializing in the history of Israel in the ancient Near Eastern world.
