(PUBWestminster/John Knox)Featuring charts, quotations, explanation boxes, and black-and-white photos, this fine overview makes frequent reference to archaeological artifacts and findings from the social sciences and linguistics to give a feel for what it was like to be an ancient Israelite. Good for course adoptions. 336 pages, softcover.

Relying on archeological artifacts and anthropological study, George Mendenhall re-tells the story of Israel's history and faith. While careful not to move beyond the evidence, Mendenhall also provides an account of the theological dimensions of Israel's history.

George E. Mendenhall is Professor Emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is the author of several books including The Tenth Generation: The Origins of Biblical Tradition..
