We know the power of the Bible as a source of inspiration and faith, but how well does it serve as a historical record and field guide? What do we know about daily life in ancient Canaan and Israel-not just that of kings and religious leaders, but that of their subjects and followers?
Jonathan M. Golden is adjunct professor of anthropology at Drew University, Madison, NJ.
"Golden presents a balanced, nonjudgmental synopsis of scholarly opinion on the culture, faith, and fate of biblical Israel ... In sum, a well-crafted primer to the life and time of ancient Israel." - American Reference Books Annual
