The history of the Hebrews is primarily known to us through the Bible. But between history and faith, where does the reality of the people of Israel lie? Drawing on advances in archaeology, Richard Lebeau compares the biblical narrative with archaeological discoveries. He recounts the exceptional fate of these nomads from Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Canaan, gathered around 1200 BC around the cult of a single God—Yahoo—and a king. Despite conquests, exoduses, and attempts at assimilation, the Hebrews were able to preserve their identity, constantly rewriting their past, until their expulsion from the Holy Land by the Romans in 135 AD.
