Biblical Archaeology Review
Biblical Archaeology Review is the flagship publication of the Biblical Archaeology Society. For more than 40 years it has been making the world of archaeology in the lands of the Bible come alive for the interested layperson. Full of vivid images and articles written by leading scholars, this is a must read for anyone interested in the archaeology of the ancient Near East.
Endnote 3 - Save Us from Postmodern Malarkey
Postmodernist literature is extensive, but often stupifyingly jargon ridden. For an accessible, although largely apologetic, introduction, see Charles Lemert, Post-modernism Is Not What You Think (Oxford: Blackwell, 1997); but for a devastating critique, see David Gress, From Plato to Nato: The Idea of the West and Its Opponents (London: Free Press, 1998).

This summary closely follows Lemche, Earliest Israel Revisited, Currents in Research: Biblical Studies 4 (1996), pp. 934; for my critique, see Dever, Revisionist Israel Revisited: A Rejoinder to Niels Peter Lemche, Currents in Research: Biblical Studies 4 (1996), pp. 3550. See also the works cited in n. 1 above, passim.
