    For more than 30 years, the relationship of archaeology in Israel to biblical narratives has been plagued by the ultra-skeptical “low chronology” of Israel Finkelstein and his disciples. By reducing the monumental archaeological evidence for the early state from the tenth to the ninth or even the eighth century BCE, this scenario virtually eliminated the united monarchy or the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon. Mighty Solomon, in particular, was…

    Open AccessWilliam G DeverARTICLEReligions2019Citada por: 1Referencias: 19

    This article will summarize and interpret archaeological data that may be used to illuminate the religion of ancient Israel, ca. 1200-600 BCE, while using a phenomenal approach. The resultant portrait will be compared with one drawn from the texts of the Hebrew Bible, which suggests both convergences and significant differences. The conclusion will emphasize that archaeology does best in providing a real-life context for both artifact and texts. …

    This volume is the most recent collective contribution of a group of biblical scholars and archaeologists who are engaged in an ongoing debate about the nature of family and household religion in ancient Israel and its environment. It is intended to complement the volume Household and Family Religion in Antiquity , edited by John Bodel and Saul M. Olyan, which grew out of a conference held at Brown University in 2005 on household and family relig…

  • The Middle Bronze Age “High Place” at Gezer

    William G DeverARTICLEBulletin of the American Schools…2014

    This is the full and final report of the Hebrew Union College-Harvard Semitic Museum excavations at Gezer in Field V in 1968. The so-called High Place was almost completely cleared by R. A. S. Macalister in 1902–1907, but the publication in 1912 left many unresolved questions. With meticulous modern stratigraphic methods, the scant remaining in situ material was excavated. This unique monument, never previously understood, can now, in all likelih…

  • Visiting the Real Gezer

    William G DeverARTICLETel Aviv2003

    This article is a reply to Israel Finkelstein's 'Gezer Revisited and Revised' (Tel Aviv 29:262-296). It is an attempt to address the methodological issues posed there, as well as to refute Finkelstein's reconstruction of the site's stratigraphy and history. In particular, it defends the over-all Gezer project by placing it in both the context of the archaeology of the 1960s–1970s and contemporary archaeological scholarship.

  • Who Were the Early Israelites and Where Did They Come From

    Niels Peter Lemche, William G DeverARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…2003

    This book addresses one of the most timely and urgent topics in archaeology and biblical studies - the origins of early Israel. For centuries, the Western tradition has traced its beginnings back to ancient Israel, but recently some historians and archaeologists have questioned the reality of Israel as it is described in biblical literature. In Who Were the Early Israelites and Where Did They Come From?, William Dever explores the continuing cont…

  • Down-to-Earth Biblical History

    Anson F Rainey, William G DeverARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…2002

    William Dever, the senior American archaeologist working in the Holy Land, has written a significant critique of the current minimalist or deconstructionist trend in Old Testament scholarship. He has cut to the heart of the problem, namely that the practitioners of the minimalist approach do not really deal with the realities of the archaeological or textual evidence. Dever places the minimalist school in the context of post-modernism and deliver…

  • Archaeology, Ideology, and the Quest for an "Ancient" or "Biblical Israel

    William G DeverARTICLENear Eastern Archaeology1998Citada por: 4

    Was there an "ancient" or "biblical" Israel? The question sounds absurd, but prominent and well-published "revisionist" scholars not only take the question seriously, but answer it with a defiant "No!" Despite a natural inclination to dismiss the flawed arguments of these "revisionists," we must tackle them head-on
