. MAXWELL MILLER is Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Candler School of Theology, Emory University, and Archaeologist at Fernbank Museum of Natural History. JOHN H. HAYES is Franklin N. Parker Professor of Old Testament at Candler School of Theology, Emory University.
Miller and Hayes has long been my number one recommended textbook for classes on the history of ancient Israel and Judah. While I may not agree with every word, I know of nothing like it for the systematic way in which it sets out the whole range of evidence, discusses it critically, and bases its historical reconstruction on the results. The field has been moving so rapidly, however, with new discoveries and radically different interpretations of familiar material, that it was reaching the point where this book would need to be replaced. This new edition represents such a significant revision, with account taken of all the most recent main discussions, that it will again immediately resume its premier position in the field." H. G. M. WILLIAMSON, REGIUS PROFESSOR OF HEBREW, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
