The First Historians: The Hebrew Bible and History

by Baruch Halpern

Book Overview

'The First Historians is a book that no one with serious interest in biblical scholarship can afford to neglect. Halpern is one of the most fertile, exuberant, and audacious minds of his generation. He is witty, learned, and outrageous in turn, a Momigliano of Hebrew historiography. One learns more from one book by Halpern than from a dozen by his plodding peers.' -Frank Moore Cross, Harvard University
