Klappentext zu „My People as Your People “
My People as Your People provides an in-depth analysis of the chronology, history, and archaeology associated with the reign of Jehoshaphat of Judah. The synthesis of these various elements illuminates a diverse geo-political picture of the southern Levant in the mid-ninth century BCE. In recent years, archaeologists and biblical scholars have dealt quite extensively with the tenth and eighth centuries BCE due to both the controversial aspects of recent interpretations associated with the so-called United Kingdom and the established archaeological data relating to Judah's rise as a significant polity in the eighth century BCE. On the other hand, the ninth century BCE has received considerably less scholarly treatment, despite the fact that many new archaeological strata have been uncovered in recent years that have a direct bearing upon this period. My People as Your People is an attempt to fill this gap in our knowledge. In accomplishing this, it both provides a nuanced understanding of Judah in the mid-ninth century BCE and also demonstrates the significance of this period in the larger setting of the history of the Divided Kingdom.

Pressezitat
«My People as Your People is an excellent study of the textual, historical, and archaeological evidence relating to the reign of Jehoshaphat, King of Judah. The author attempts to tie together updated analyses of the relevant evidence to present a fresh and impressive study of this important king. I highly recommend this volume!» (Aren M. Maeir, Director, Ackerman Family Bar-Ilan University. Expedition to Gath; Director, Minerva Center for the Relations Between Israel and Aram in Biblical Times; Co-editor, Israel Exploration Journal)«Chris McKinny surveys all of the relevant sources and analyzes them critically and methodically, and then brings together the first up-to-date comprehensive summary of all of the relevant archaeological data from Israel, Transjordan, and especially Judah in the ninth century BCE. Even scholars who will not ultimately accept his compelling conclusions will appreciate the sheer mass of the material that he has brought together. McKinny's writing style is clear, which will make this material that much more accessible to the non-archaeologist as well.» (Yigal Levin, The Israel and Golda Koschitzky Department
of Jewish History, Bar-Ilan University)
