Description

Explore a profound examination of how the history of ancient Palestine has been obscured. In The Invention of Ancient Israel, Keith W. Whitelam investigates how the concept of ancient Israel was shaped by scholars mirroring the model of a European nation state. This work connects historical research to the political realities following 1948, providing a deep look into how modern history influences our understanding of the past. Whitelam examines the theological and political assumptions that guide Biblical scholars. By looking at the network of scholarship identified as Orientalist discourse, this book offers a different perspective on how history is written and preserved. The study focuses on two key periods starting from the end of the late Bronze Age, making it an essential read for those interested in ancient history, archaeology, and the politics of historical narrative.
