Thank you so much for posting it. ...Terrific list. Thank you so much for posting it. I've read almost all of the books on the Syro-Palestinian History section and about half of the others, but had been wanting some new titles. What I like about this list is that it isn't completely stuffed with historical minimalist literature (the extreme reaction to the 100% credulous works), but contains a decent proportion of the more realistic, objective scholars such as my favorites Dever, Ehrman and Friedman.<br /><br />A couple of additional authors for those who enjoy the proto-Judaism historical genre, though they're a bit technical at times (like Ziony Zevit's book in this list): Frank Moore Cross, Jr. and Mark Smith. These address the evidence for continuity from a textual approach of the pre-Israelite cultures into Israel/Judah. These are some of the more memorable works that I've read.Chris Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742083009211346119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-7656188619065794952010-06-27T17:58:21.567-04:002010-06-27T17:58:21.567-04:00Of course ZZ Top is responsible for that great apo...Of course ZZ Top is responsible for that great apologia "Jesus Left Chicago".
