Publishers Description
Covering the period of the thirteenth century B.C.E. to the fall of Jerusalem in 586 b.c.e., Isserlin, a senior scholar, synthesizes the social, historical, geographical, and archaeological materials relevant to studying ancient Israel in its ancient Near Eastern context. Isserlin has an accessible style and brings the latest in biblical research to students and general readers. The stunning array of 85 photographs -- plus maps, line-drawings, and charts -- make this a rich resource for scholars as well. |

Reviews - What do customers think about Israelites, The?
 | Wonderfully illustrated throughout Aug 12, 2001 |
| In The Israelites: History, Archaeology, Social Structure, And Religion, B.S.J. Isserlin draws upon his years of experience and expertise in directed archaeological fieldwork in Jaffa and Mikhomret, Israel, Sicily, Greece, and Spain, as well as his years as president of the British Association for Jewish Studies, and head of the Department of Semitic Studies as the university of Leeds, England, to bring to the reader an impressive overview and survey of ancient Israelite culture. Beginning with a survey of the geography and resources of the land, the origins and affinities of the Israelites, their history and social structure, Professor Isserlin moves on to their material cultures (towns, villages, architecture, agricultures, industries, crafts, trade and economics, warfare); and concludes with an informative survey and commentary on their language, writing, texts, religion, and art. Wonderfully illustrated throughout, Professor Isserlin's The Israelites is an ideal introduction which is enhanced with an Epilogue, a selected bibliography, acknowledgments, sources of illustrations, and an index. | | |  | Excellent Text Jul 28, 2001 |
| This work covers a broad range of topics related to the life and culture of ancient Israel. Several other works have been written on the subject. In my opinion this is one of the best. It covers everthing from town planning to agriculture. All and all an excellent window into how an ancient people lived. | | | Write your own review about Israelites, The
