Memories of Ancient Israel: An Introduction to Biblical History - Ancient and Modern Author: Philip R. Davies Retail Price: $35.00 Our Price: $31.50 Save: 3.50 (10.00%) Availability: In Stock        Recent years have seen an explosion of writing on the history of Israel, prompted largely by definitive archaeological surveys and attempts to write a genuine archaeological history of ancient Israel and Judah. The scholarly world has also witnessed an intense confrontation between so-called minimalists and maximalists over the correct approach to the historicity of the Bible. Memories of Ancient Israel: An Introduction to Biblical History-Ancient and Modern looks at the issues at stake in biblical history--the ideologies involved, the changing role of archaeology, and the influence of cultural contexts both ancient and modern. Philip Davies suggests a different way of defining the problem of 'reliability' and 'historicity' by employing the theory of cultural memory. In doing so, he provides a better explanation of how ancient societies constructed their past but also a penetrating insight into the ideological underpinnings of today's scholarly debates.
