Synopsis:

It's the cradle of civilization, the wellspring of three of the world's most powerful faiths, a place where vestiges of the ancient past remain vibrantly alive today―but what do we really know about the day-to-day lives and defining culture of the people of Israel and Canaan?

· A rich illustration program including detailed plans of archaeological sites, settlements, and architecture, plus a number of drawings, photos, and scientific illustrations of ancient artifacts

· A variety of regional maps, showing geography, topography, and climate, as well as maps that depict culture areas and trade routes

Book Description:

We know the power of the Bible as a source of inspiration and faith, but how well does it serve as a historical record and field guide? What do we know about daily life in ancient Canaan and Israel—not just that of kings and religious leaders, but that of their subjects and followers?
