Publisher Synopsis
Faust has provided a thoroughly researched and detailed study of the incursion and impact of Assyria on the Southwest Levant in the eighth and seventh centuries BCE, shedding light on and raising questions about this period of Biblical history. He has made a viable contribution to not only encourage the study of this period of Biblical history, but has also provided a wealth of material in both his notes and bibliography to encourage scholars and students to plungeinto the subject and to pursue it even further as academic curiosity and the urge toward inquiry inspires them. * Kenneth R. Cooper, Near East Archaeological Society * Faust has written a comprehensive and insightful study, well illustrated with several maps. It provides the specialist and the wider public with a detailed analysis and explicit interpretations of the evidence. This publication is currently the best summary of the Assyrian era in the southern Levant and will stimulate the ongoing debate and the research of this important period. * Gunnar Lehmann, Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies * Read more...
