Plot

Lemche presents students, academics, researchers, and general-interest readers with a comprehensive examination of the culture, society, and history of the Israelites prior to the foundation of the monarchy. The author has organized the main body of his text in two parts covering the formulation and presuppositions of the revolution hypothesis. The first part includes chapters devoted to revolution as an alternative, immigration or conquest, and Israel in the period of the Judges. The second part includes chapters focused on the Israelites as nomads, farmers and urban dwellers, egalitarianism and segmentation in Israelite society, and a variety of other related subjects.
