The Historical Conquest: Historical Events of the Amarna Age in Canaan and their Preservation in the Biblical Narrative

This book presents a detailed analysis of the events recorded in the Amarna letters and other archaeological evidence from 14th century BC Canaan. Geographical issues, archaeological remains and historical accounts are all considered in the quest to understand what was really going on in the land of Canaan in the Amarna period. Could a people group such as the Israelites have appeared at that time? Are there correlations between the Amarna texts, archaeology and the biblical account? When this historical and physical evidence is compared to the actual biblical account of the conquest, the results are striking and suggest that the Israelites did in fact enter Canaan around 1400 BC. 6x9 inch softcover, 242 pages + xiv, indices and 10 maps.
