Synopsis:
Our image of ancient Israel cannot escape the influence of biblical tales, but how far is the story we read in the Bible reflected in the archaelogical record? In this detailed survey of six centuries of material and historical evidence, the author looks at social structure, towns and villages, agriculture, trade and industry, warfare, language, religion and art, in an attempt to discover the truth about the Israelites.
About the Author: Ben Isserlin was born in Germany and studied at the universities of Edinburgh and Oxford. He was Head of the Department of Semitic Studies and Reader in Semitic Studies at the University of Leeds until his retirement, and has directed archaeological excavations in Israel and at Phoenician and other sites in Sicily, Spain, and Greece.
