L. Noll\u003c\/b\u003e, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Religion at Brandon University, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. His publications include 'The Faces of David' (1996).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis  book delivers what it promises. In clear prose, Dr Noll offers an  introduction in the art of history-writing and applies his theoretical  insights to the evidence on past events in Canaan and Israel in  Antiquity. His non-prejudiced position functions as an oasis amidst the  heated and at times over-ideological debate on the (re)construction of  Israel’s past. This second edition is not just a reprint of his earlier  book. Noll has included new insights as well as recently discovered  archaeological and epigraphic evidence in his inquiry of the past. I am  looking to use this text-book in my undergraduate class soon. -- Bob Becking, Utrecht University, The Netherlands\u003cbr\u003eThough a textbook addressed to students, this is an important book for biblical studies as a whole. After  more than 40 years of crisis and debate, Noll presents here a history  of ancient Canaan and Israel which is both sound and balanced. I would  recommend it to all teachers in the field without reservation. -- Thomas L. Thompson\u003cbr\u003eThe strength of the book is not that Dr Noll has given \u003ci\u003ethe  \u003c\/i\u003eanswer to the many questions he asks but that he has examined each  question and each topic in detail and from every side, considering the  possible solutions and the strengths and weaknesses of each. Both  students and teachers will appreciate the detailed information and the  challenging questions and guidance of this welcome textbook -- Lester L.
