An excellent introduction to the history of Israel from a conservative perspective. Drawing from the Old Testament, extrabiblical documents, and archaeology, Merrill's text reveals a fascinating blend of political, social, economic, and religious factors. This updated edition addresses and interacts with current debates concerning ancient Israel. Includes footnotes, indexes, maps, and bibliography. 546 pages, softcover from Baker.

From the origins and exodus to the restoration and new hope, Kingdom of Priests offers a comprehensive introduction to the history of Old Testament Israel. Merrill explores the history of ancient Israel not only from Old Testament texts but also from the literary and archeological sources of the ancient Near East. After selling more than 30,000 copies, the book has now been updated and revised. The second edition addresses and interacts with current debates in the history of ancient Israel, offering an up-to-date articulation of a conservative evangelical position on historical matters. The text is accented with nearly twenty maps and charts.
