Description

Explore the complex methodology behind ancient history with Philosophy and Practice in Writing a History of Ancient Israel. This scholarly work examines the foundational assumptions used by modern historians of ancient Israel and Judah. It addresses the ongoing academic debate between minimalist and maximalist perspectives within the discipline. While the use of the Bible as primary evidence serves as the center of the tension between these two schools of thought, this book looks deeper. It examines the broader philosophical and practical issues that influence how history is reconstructed. Readers will find a detailed analysis of concepts such as empiricism, objectivity, and representation as they apply to the study of the ancient Near East. Part of The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies, this text provides a necessary look at the frameworks that shape historical narratives. It is an essential resource for students and scholars looking to understand the tensions and methods involved in modern historical writing.
