The study of food in the Hebrew Bible and Syro-Palestinian archaeology has tended to focus on kosher dietary laws, the sacrificial system, and feasting in elite contexts. More everyday ritual and practice - the preparation of food in the home - has been overlooked. Food in Ancient Judah explores both the archaeological remains and ancient Near Eastern sources to see what they reveal about the domestic gastronomical daily life of ancient Judahites within the narratives of the Hebrew Bible. Beyond the findings, the methodology of the study is in itself innovative. Biblical passages that deal with domestic food preparation are translated and analysed. Archaeological findings and relevant secondary resources are then applied to inform these passages. Food in Ancient Judah reflects both the shift towards the study of everyday life in biblical studies and archaeology and the huge expansion of interest in food history - it will be of interest to scholars in all these fields.

Many books focus on either the cultural contexts of ancient Israel or the theology of the Hebrew Scriptures. This unique and insightful work, coauthored by a biblical scholar with expertise in archaeology and a biblical theologian, bridges the gap between these two disciplines. This book shows readers how the everyday life of ancient Israelites shaped their relationship with God and how understanding their cultural context illuminates the profound connections between their world and their faith.Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible explores topics such as households, food, marriage negotiations, covenants, warfare, and more. Each chapter begins by examining archaeological insights into the everyday practices and beliefs of ancient Israelites, shedding light on how these inform the theology that develops throughout Scripture. This approach enhances our understanding of ancient Israel's theologies.For the Bible student, pastor, or serious lay reader, this volume is an invitation to dig deeper into the cultural background and theology of the Hebrew Bible. The book includes suggestions for further reading, images, figures, and discussion questions.

The Five-Minute Archaeologist in the Southern Levant is a user-friendly exploration of basic concepts within archaeology, with particular attention to the region of the southern Levant. This volume is intended for students and lay readers alike, and would be an excellent reader for introductory level courses on archaeology in college and university settings. Topics range from basic archaeological concepts to various types of archaeology, written by specialists in those particular fields. Chapters are informal and relaxed - more like a chat or discussion that will help answer some of the basic questions that archaeologists are often asked.
