the Archaeology of Kingdom Judah

This latest volume in the Archaeology and Biblical Studies series thoroughly engages the archaeological data, historical record, and biblical traditions at the center of the heated debate surrounding the development of the kingdom of Judah and its most well-known kings, including David, Solomon, and Hezekiah. Garfinkel traces five stages in the kingdom's development from its beginnings in the early tenth century BCE through its destruction in the sixth century BCE. Garfinkel supplements each chapter with illustrations and images of sites, objects, and maps that clarify the archaeological picture. Charts present not only timelines but also differentiate between the contrasting historical reconstructions of Judah by other archaeologists and historians. The Archaeology of the Kingdom of Judah is an essential resource for students and scholars of history, archaeology, and the Hebrew Bible.
