About this title

Synopsis

The Covenant of Many is a comprehensive, evidence-driven study of ancient Israel’s origins that challenges the assumption of ethnic purity and reframes identity as covenantal rather than biological. Integrating archaeology, biblical studies, linguistics, and population genetics, this book demonstrates that Israel emerged from diverse Canaanite, pastoral, and regional populations who forged unity through shared practice, law, and worship.

Rather than treating the Bible as a static record, the authors examine how texts were composed, edited, and reshaped in response to historical pressure—especially during exile and return. Archaeological data anchors the argument, while theology is clearly identified as interpretive rather than evidentiary.

This book is ideal for readers interested in biblical archaeology, ancient Near Eastern history, historical theology, and identity formation.
