Covering the period of the thirteenth century B.C.E. to the fall of Jerusalem in 586 B.C.E., Isserling, 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.
B. S. J. Isserlin has directed archaeological excavations in Israel, Sicily, Greece, and Spain. President of the British Association for Jewish Studies prior to his retirement, he served as head of the Department of Semitic Studies at the University of Leeds, England. He is also the author of A Hebrew Work-book for Beginners (1971) and Motya: A Phoenician and Carthaginian City in Sicily (1974).
