"This is a simply fascinating and superb presented textbook for
either classroom use or personal informational enrichment, and
filled with the latest archaeological and historical knowledge of
Palestine from the Paleolithic to the Roman eras and the emergence
of the Bible. Of especial note is the careful analysis of Biblical
information about the land Palestine and the people who lived
there. A fascinating, scholarly account, Canaan and Israel in
Antiquity is strongly recommended for Biblical Studies, Biblical
Archaeology, and Antiquarian History reading lists and academic
reference collections." The Midwest Book Review, May 2002
"This nicely written book brings its reader what it promises: a
comprehensive introduction into the problems and perspectives of
ancient Israelite historiography. The book is designed for
classroom work and it is one of the best textbooks for an
undergraduate course that I have read recently. The main reason for
this positive assessment is that Noll is able to bring the reader
from a position of not knowing, or having a biased view on Israel's
past, to a position of grasping the problematic concepts of
historiography." -Bob Becking, Utrecht University, Review of
Biblical Literature
