Routledge David's Jerusalem: Between Memory and History

Explore one of the most debated topics of the ancient world with David's Jerusalem: Between Memory and History. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Studies in Religion series, this academic work examines the complex history of the site through a rigorous lens. Author Daniel Pioske uses recent archaeological data to address long-standing debates regarding the nature of this location. The study investigates how physical remains relate to the claims made about the royal center of David found in biblical narratives. By looking at the landscape and lifeways of early 10th century BCE Jerusalem, this book provides a detailed reconstruction of a period deeply connected to biblical tradition. This research goes beyond simple excavation reports by exploring the connection between late Iron Age texts, such as the Books of Samuel and Kings, and later Persian or early periods. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in ancient history, archaeology, and the relationship between biblical text and material evidence.
