Summary:

"This English translation of the second edition of Christian Frevel's essential textbook Geschichte Israels (Kohlhammer, 2018) covers the history of Israel from its beginnings until the Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135 CE). Frevel draws on archaeological evidence, inscriptions and monuments, and the Bible to sketch a picture of the history of ancient Israel within the context of the southern Levant that is sometimes familiar but often fresh and unexpected. Tables of rulers, a glossary, a timeline of the ancient Near East, and resources arranged by subject make this an accessible, essential, and up-to-date textbook for students and scholars alike"-- Provided by publisher.
