How to write a history of ancient Israel?
Bob Beckling (Emeritus Senior Research Professor of Hebrew Bible of the Faculty of Humanities of Utrecht University). In this lecture, he will present the idea of the ‘circle of five’. The five steps: 1. Landscape; 2. Climate; 3. Archaeology; 4. Epigraphy; 5. Hebrew Bible, will be taken in that order. It will concentrate on a few examples such as the life of David and the Babylonian Exile.
