A Biblical History of Israel
Iain Provan, V. Philips Long and Tremper Longman III (Westminster/John Knox Press, 2003)
This book makes such an important contribution to the debate about the use of the Bible in writing a history of Israel that it could not go unrewarded. Its interdisciplinary approach to the archaeological sources, ancient texts and the Bible itself makes the book especially compelling. The text is extremely scholarly, yet it is accessible to the general reader.
