Summary: Rebuilding an Ancient Israelite City
Comment: Most readers of the Bible may only have stumbled on the name "Timnah" in passing, perhaps reading the Old Testament story of the mighty Samson. In this fantastic, wonderfully illustrated volume archaeologists Kelm and Mazar uncover for their readers the long, intriguing history of an ancient town in the Israelite Hill Country. From its foundation in the days of the Canaanites until its ultimate destruction with the coming of the Greeks, Timnah thrived in the rich plains of the Sorek Valley. In a style that presents scholarly information for a lay audience, the authors peel back layer after layer of the ancient city that was excavated by volunteers from around the world over a 12 year period. Scores of drawings and photographs (both colour and B/W) highlight the fantastic life of Israel's ancient past. The buildings, tools, weapons, ceremonial objects, decorated pottery, even the small clay models of Israel's forbidden goddesses, are all uncovered for the reader. Acclaimed by the archaeological community, "Timnah: A Biblical City in the Sorek Valley" would make a wonderful gift for any Bible student or armchair archaeologist
