Early Israelites: Two Peoples, One History

More about the book

The book explores the discrepancies between biblical narratives and archaeological findings regarding the origins of the Israelites and Judahites. It reveals that these two groups had distinct ancestors and timelines for their Exodus from Egypt, leading to independent conquests of Canaan. The author argues that biblical writers conflated their histories to forge a unified genealogy, obscuring the unique pasts of these West Semitic peoples. This examination raises questions about the reliability of the Holy Scriptures and the complexities of biblical interpretation.
