A landmark work in biblical scholarship and ancient Near Eastern history, A History of Ancient Israel and Judah presents a rigorous, evidence-based account of the two Hebrew kingdoms from their earliest origins through the post-exilic period. Drawing on archaeological findings, ancient texts, and critical analysis of the Hebrew Bible, Miller and Hayes construct a detailed historical narrative that carefully distinguishes between theological tradition and verifiable historical record. Written with academic precision yet remaining accessible to serious students and general readers alike, the work argues that a credible history of Israel and Judah must engage honestly with the limitations and contradictions of the available sources. It chronicles the rise and fall of the Israelite monarchy, the Assyrian and Babylonian conquests, and the social and political forces that shaped one of the ancient world's most consequential civilizations. This authoritative volume remains an essential reference for anyone seeking a thorough and intellectually honest account of the ancient Levant.
