A concise overview of the modern scholastic understanding of Israel's history. Introduces a lot of the major arguments along with their evidences and reasons that bring history, bible, and scholarship alive. Many helpful and useful notes and references. Entertaining, educational, and thought-provoking. Written in easy-to-understand language. Ideal for anyone just getting their feet wet or who really want to dig in. The one drawback is the liberal slant that permeates the text and dubiously colors some of the conclusions. ( )
