This volume coordinates individual books and textual elements with the eras of their composition, from the early Iron Age to the arrival of Roman power in Palestine. Drawing on the biblical text itself, this work investigates the folktales, sayings, songs, etiological narratives, and written sources used by the biblical writers in coordination with evidence from archaeology, place names, inscriptions, archives, and literary texts from Egypt and ancient West Asia. --From publisher's description.
