Twelve seasons of excavation at Tel Batash, biblical Timnah, have yielded a wealth of information for understanding the history and culture of ancient Palestine. In this highly readable and profusely illustrated book, Professors Kelm and Mazar tell the story of the town and the region through the evidence unearthed during their years of excavation and study. Not only will this volume be of interest to libraries, archaeologists, and students and scholars of the Bible, it is also accessible to interested laymen. It includes color and black-and-white photographs, and many line drawings.

Three decades of dialogue, discussion, and debate within the interrelated disciplines of Syro-Palestinian archaeology, Israelite history, and Hebrew Bible on the question of the reliability of the biblical account of Israel's history have made a balanced articulation of the issues and their resolution a desideratum. This book brings together for the first time under one cover the currently emerging "centrist" paradigms articulated by Finkelstein and Mazar, two leading figures in the field of early Israelite history and archaeology. Articulating distinct views of Israelite history, the two perspectives presented here nevertheless share the position that the material cultural data, the biblical traditions, and ancient Near Eastern written sources are all significantly relevant to the historical quest for ancient Israel of the Iron Age. The results of their research are featured in an accessible dual-authored synthesis of the historical reconstruction of ancient Israel. The parallel histories readily facilitate comparison and contrast of the interpretations proposed by the authors. These lectures were delivered at The Institute for Secular Humanistic Judaism's Annual Colloquium. Detroit, October 2005.
