A New Critical Approach to the History of Palestine: Palestine History and Heritage Project 1
Framing la longue durée and the complexity of the Palestinian heritage and Palestine’s cultures. The medieval presents itself as a difference to us in a complex and stratified corpus and competing traditions in terms of languages, genres, religious/ethnic affiliations, ideological/political genealogies, regimes of knowledge. and canonised literary systems.

Palestine's Pre-Islamic History and Cultural Heritage: A Proposal for Palestinian High-School Curriculum Revision
This article is presented in the hope of engaging debate on Palestine's cultural heritage in view of recommending a revision of the Palestinian high-school curriculum for the pre-Islamic history of Palestine. After a brief clarification of intent and an introduction to the current status of research on Palestine's history, brief summaries of the proposed curriculum are offered in chronological order: 1) the Stone Age; 2) the Bronze Age; 3) region…
The Reception and Remembrance of Abraham
This book explores the role of the biblical patriarch Abraham in the formation and use of authoritative texts in the Persian and Hellenistic periods. It reflects a conference session in 2009 focusing on Abraham as a figure of cultural memory in the literature of these periods. Cultural memory is the shared reproduction and recalling of what has been learned and retained. It also involves transformation and innovation. As a figure of memory, stori…

Clarel, Jonah, and the Whale: A Question Concerning Rachel's Missing Children
Biblical Archaeology and the Politics of Nation-Building
Since the time of the British mandate, Zionist and, later, Israeli politics of nation-building has strongly influenced ‘biblical archaeology’ and has significantly undermined the integrity of Israeli scholarship. Critiques from Yael Zerubavel and Keith Whitelam to Nadia Abu El-Haj and Raz Kletter have repeatedly pointed out the consistent nationalistic distortions that have infected the field. The efforts of critical scholars to write a history o…
The Politics of Reading the Bible in Israel
The biblical themes of exile, return, the blossoming of the desert and the promise of the land have been transformed to support Zionist nationalist policies of ethnic cleansing. Biblical and archaeological scholarship, itself, has contributed substantially to the de-Arabicisation of Palestinian toponymy, the understanding of the Bible's allegorical narratives as nationalist epic and an ethno-centric understanding of Palestine's ancient history
Is The Bible Historical? The Challenge of ‘minimalism’ for Biblical Scholars and Historians
This article examines the attempts to deflect attention away from issues that I first raised over thirty years ago, and which have not sufficiently been addressed since. It argues for the necessity of distinguishing between the interpretation of the Bible, which is the task of those engaged in Biblical Studies, and the attempts to write a history of the region in the pre-biblical period, which is the domain of historians and particularly archaeol…
