The scholarly world has also witnessed an intense confrontation between so-called minimalists and maximalists over the correct approach to the historicity of the Bible. Memories of Ancient Israel looks at the issues at stake in biblical history - the ideologies involved, the changing role of archaeology, and the influence of cultural contexts, both ancient and modern. Davies suggests a different way of defining the problems of "reliability" and "historicity" by employing the theory of cultural memory. In doing so, he provides not only a better explanation of how ancient societies constructed their past but also a penetrating insight into the ideological underpinnings of today's scholarly debate."--BOOK JACKET.
