NO OF PAGES: 432 SUB CAT I: Archaeology SUB CAT II: Paganism SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: "Richard S. Hess, well known for his numerous studies in biblical and ancient Near Eastern topics, now brings his extensive knowledge to bear on 'Israelite religions.' The plural form of the title is decisive: everywhere the accent is on the pluriformity and complexity of Israelite religion(s) in various periods and locales. The subtitle is equally critical: Hess surveys an immense array of biblical and archaeological data both judiciously and economically. Throughout the book, Hess's attention to what may be unique or distinctive about Israelite religion(s) vis-�-vis its cultural congeners is instructive. Moreover, his care to define key terms, his correlation of textual and artifactual material, his awareness of the relationship of Israelite religion to biblical theology, as well as his trademark skill in onomastics--not to mention the useful and extensive bibliography--are among the aspects that make the present book not only welcome but also essential reading on the subject."NOTES: Purchased from the Amazon MarketPlace.

Hess provides a great final assessment of the tendency of many scholars to say that archaeology proves that "true" biblical religion was not actually practiced in Syro-Palestine. This is, after all, the crux of the historical-critical argument: that the Bible is not sufficiently historical but simply represents the later tradition's "ideal" of how things should have been. In this masterful survey Hess musters textual and archaeological evidence to prove that there was, in fact, a segment of the population that did practice orthodox Yahwism.

In particular, I would commend it to readers of the Journal as a model of the very best of evangelical scholarship; Hess shows us how to engage with the academy thoughtfully and profoundly, without adopting either a purely defensive stance or sacrificing conservative conclusions on the altar of current academic shibboleths. Would that there were more books like this!
