Brief introduction to the History of Ancient Israel

The History of Ancient Israel is a concise and rich history of ancient Israel written by Julius Wilhausen, a master of modern religious historiography in Germany. It describes the evolution of the nation of Israel and the internal and external role played by the maturity of the Torah in the process of religious reform and national identity in Israel. Wilhausen's history of ancient Israel presents his groundbreaking views on the background of the Pentateuch and its political and religious status. The core question is: Is the Pentateuch the starting point of the nation of Israel or the starting point of Judaism? In addition, the book also describes in detail the process of ancient Israel's continuous integration and differentiation with different nations and their religions in various periods, especially concerning the great significance of the concept of "covenant law" for the formation of Israel's nation. For anyone looking at the history of religion in Israel, the development of the Old Testament, the evolution of the nation and its political theology, this book will undoubtedly provide a clear and profound perspective.
