About this title

Synopsis

Mordechai Cogan's The Raging Torrent: Historical Inscriptions from Assyria and Babylonia Relating to Ancient Israel presents a comprehensive collection of the royal inscriptions from Assyria and Babylonia that treat the Land of Israel and the People of Israel. Covering a period of just over three hundred years during the first half of the 1st millennium BCE, these texts tell the story of the military encounters between the Mesopotamian empires and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Many of the texts relate to events described in the Hebrew Bible, while others provide information about affairs that were unknown until their discovery in modern times. The Raging Torrent has been newly translated from the original cuneiform documents and is accompanied by a consecutive commentary and select bibliography.
