The Lost World of the Israelite Conquest - by John H Walton & J Harvey Walton (Paperback)
The Lost World of the Israelite Conquest is a groundbreaking book that challenges traditional interpretations of the biblical conquest of Canaan.
Written by John Walton and J.
Harvey Walton, this book takes an archaeological approach to understanding these difficult texts, reframing our questions and excavating the layers of translation and interpretation that cloud our perception of these episodes.
The authors argue that the so-called holy war texts do not portray a divinely inspired genocide, but rather a complex narrative of covenant relationship and land inheritance.
By examining the language and rhetoric of the Hebrew text, the Canaanites are shown to be punished for sinning against the covenanting God, rather than being enforced divine retribution on an unholy people.
This book offers surprising new insights into the biblical conquest and clears the ground for further understanding, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the complexities of the Old Testament.
