This classic textbook, widely used for over two decades, constructs a history of ancient Israel and Judah through a thorough investigation of epigraphical, archaeological, and biblical sources. Approaching biblical history as history, Miller and Hayes examine the political and economic factors that give context to the Israelite monarchy's actions and the biblical writers' accounts. Now updated with the latest research and critical discoveries, including the Tel Dan Inscription, and considering the lively debate surrounding the reliability of biblical accounts, Miller and Hayes's judicious and even-handed portrayal gives detailed attention to the nature, strengths, and limitations of various forms of evidence for understanding Israel's origins and early history. The new edition also includes thirty-four new maps, helpful notes, and numerous charts and photographs.

The results of this survey, conducted between 1978 and 1983, are published as Archaeological Survey of the Kerak Plateau (1991).
From 1980 through 2014, Dr. Miller directed an annual Middle East Travel-Seminar. Through this METS program he introduced Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt.

This is the best you can hope for of ancient Israel. These scholars take you down an authentic path, free of evangelical bs.

Best such history available for serious students--fundamentalists will hate it

Reviewed in Canada on 17 July 2022

Verified Purchase

My first class in biblical and ancient near-east studies was 1980, with Dr Baruch Halpern, a scholar of some note. He used the 1st edition of Miller-Hayes as his main textbook. It was a great book, but then the new discoveries at Ugarit, Ebla, etc., were just being made and digested. We had to deal with these in separate books, and papers. The 2nd edition has incorporated these, and their implications, into the main text. There are many other additions and improvements that make the 2nd edition even better than the 1st edition in truly significant ways.

If your reason for reading a history of ancient Israel and Judah is to cement your certainty that the bible is the literal word of God, and the “history” it contains is an accurate account of the way it really was, you will absolutely hate this book. If, however, you are open to the best scholarship on the subject, you have found it in Miller-Hayes.

Oh, to alert you to how even-handed and how seriously scholarly this book is--unbiased by religious fanaticism--and perhaps to make you smile—check out the negative reviews here. Listen to their howls of outrage.

A good book, a good knowledge

The Book arrived in good condition and its very important subject almost entirely lacking in publications in Romanian.
