Book synopsis

Fact or fiction? Story or history? The postmodern history debate appears finally to have reached also Hebrew Bible and Old Testament studies. In this collection of essays, Hans M. Barstad deals thoroughly with the recent debate, and demonstrates its relevancy for the study of ancient Israelite history. He takes an important independent stand in the heated maximalist/minimalist debate on the historicity of the Hebrew Bible. The other major topic dealt with in the book is the actual history of ancient Judah in the Neo-Babylonian and Persian periods. Combining theoretical and methodological discussions with case studies, Hans M. Barstad shows how theory and practice can work together in a prolific way.
