SynopsisA critical examination of the history of Israel. When did Israel begin? The origins of ancient Israel are shrouded in mystery, and those hoping to explore the issue must utilize resources from three different fields--archaeology, epigraphy, and biblical texts--and then examine their interrelations while keeping in mind that the name Israel was not used to describe just one state but referred to numerous entities at different times. Archaeology, History, and Formation of Identity in Ancient Israel provides a critical reading of Israel's history. It is neither a harmonizing reading, which takes the picture painted by texts as a given fact, nor a reading supporting biblical texts with archaeological and epigraphic data; instead, it offers the reader multiple options to understand biblical narratives on a historical and theological level. In addition to presenting the main currents in the field, the book draws upon the latest discoveries from Czech-Israeli excavations to offer new hypotheses and reconstructions based on the interdisciplinary dialogue between biblical studies, archaeology, and history.
