About This Book

A comprehensive narrative traces the religious, social, and political development of an ancient people from legendary origins and settlement in their land through cycles of decentralized and centralized leadership, prophetic and cultic developments, and ongoing interaction with neighboring cultures. It synthesizes textual traditions and cultural evidence to follow conquest and settlement, the formation of legal and religious institutions, the consolidation of monarchy, and the community's confrontation with Hellenistic influence leading to a period of autonomy.
