The author accomplished exactly what he intended, "a comprehensive introduction to the history of ancient Israel—from the creation account to the events just prior to the New Testament era."

Clearly designed to be a useful tool in the topic, Kaiser's bibliography is lengthy, divided by book of the Bible as well as a general section. He also includes a subject, author, and Scripture index. I love Kaiser's approach to the topic and find his book a logical and well organized survey of how the New Testament uses the Old Testament.

A History of Israel refutes many of today's common misconceptions about Israel and sets down an accurate account of its history, from the Patriarchal Age to the birth of Christ, based on Holy Scriptures. With his customary thoroughness and attention to detail, Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., has carefully research his subject, assembled the facts, and conveyed his findings in a convincing narrative style. Kaiser not only uses the Bible as a resource, but also supports the Scriptures' historical claims with ancient Eastern documents and compelling archaeological evidence.

The complete chronological history of Israel presents and explains:

* Current approaches to the study of the history of Israel
* Common fallacies found in modern secular historical study
* The most convincing proofs for the historical authenticity of the Bible
