	History of Israel
		A history whose epistemic standing should no longer be regarded as part of science, but as a part of culture.
		Even the use of the term 'Israel' as a political term has its problems, and to write a 'history of Israel' as the history of an ethnic entity is simply too question-begging, as Keith Whitelam has demonstrated in his The Invention of Ancient Israel: The Silencing of Palestinian History.
		Since most of the influential recent ‘Histories of Israel’ are in substance a rationalistic paraphrase of the biblical texts, scholars like Robert Carroll seems to reject any history as 'bogus history', whereas others like Niehr, Becking and Grabbe would argue that the biblical text must be used very carefully and critically.

		The notable exception was, not surprisingly, ancient Israel whose history, mythology, and culture are still known to most of us through the mechanism of the written work popularly known as The Old Testament.
		In Mendenhall's view, it is in Israel's origins that we find the essential clues to the interpretation of all subsequent Israelite history-including the appearance of Jesus of Nazareth and the early Christian Church some 1200 years after the time of Moses.
		Mendenhall passes through the history of ancient Israel from before the Exodus to the time of Jesus, and describes his view of that history as it relates to the religions and histories of the surrounding nations, and to the covenant with YHWH.

	Zionism and the Creation of Israel - Definition and History
		For most Jews, the connection with the ancient homeland and with Jerusalem remained largely cultural and spiritual, and return to the homeland was a hypothetical event that would occur with the coming of the Messiah at an unknown date in the far future.
		Anti-Zionism is often defined as "opposition to the existence of Israel," but that definition is a historical distortion and probably detracts from understanding the nature of anti-Zionism and its diverse ideological roots.
		In Israel, it lifted the populace out of the doldrums of economic stagnation and frustration, and gave them renewed faith in the Zionist idea and the state.

	Philip R. Davies, The Origin of Biblical Israel
		We are obliged, on the contrary, to look for a period when ‘Israel’ was dominant and ‘Judah’ subordinate, and a period of time in which an identity ‘Israel’ could be absorbed by a population that also saw itself as ‘Judah’ in such a way that it was irreversible.
		All this is because of Jacob’s rebellion, and for the sins of the house of Israel.
		For the historical roots of ‘biblical Israel’ in the religious discourse and practice of the sixth and fifth centuries may hold the key to the burst of Judean literary activity that laid the basis of the canon we know call the ‘Hebrew Bible’.

		The Ancient and Modern Sourcebooks have a different role: since there are already ample online repositories of texts for these periods, the goal here is to provide and organize texts for use in classroom situations.
		Unlike the Medieval and Modern History Sourcebooks, this section of the project did not involve much scanning of new material to begin with.
		The Ancient History Sourcebook also includes links to visual and aural material, since art and archeology are far more important for the periods in question than for later history.

		With a sense of the importance of geographical detail, thorough knowledge of archaeological research, and a feel for history as "people," the authors bring enormous assets to their present task: recounting Old Testament history to the close of the Persian Period.
		It's true that the OT is often the only source for the early history of Israel and Judah, but Miller and Hayes tactfully duck the question of the historicity of the many legendary early events, and begin where they can start to tie the OT account to external and archaeological sources.
		It goes without saying that if you are interested in the history of this period and have not read the bible, open the good book to Genesis 1 and start reading.

		It was because Bible History and Chronology for the Divided Kingdom of Israel and Judah was so difficult to fathom, that BenDedek embarked on his 10 year journey.
		In general, Jewish history was inflated by approximately eight percent (8%), using a very simple technique based upon the belief that the solar year was comprised of 364 days.
		History's (supposed) 364 day solar years were multiplied by the number of years of that history, then artificially divided into periods of seven (7) day weeks, four (4) week months, and twelve (12) month years.
