Keith W. Whitelam is a Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies at the University of Stirling. He is the co-author of The Emergence of Early Israel in Historical Perspective (1987), and has produced a series of articles on ancient Israelite and Palestinian history.
'Keith Whitlam's work serves to remind us what a vital if fraught
exercise it still is to engage explicitly with the unique cultural
influence of the Old Testament on the contemporary world.' - The
Friend
'This is a brave, fascinating and important book ... constantly
thought provoking and controversial.' - Sunday Times
'Whitelam can (and will) be criticized for introducing politics
into "ancient Israel", he is merely exposing it - and the
Palestinians are after all the major victims of a zionizing
European and American biblical scholarship. This book should be in
paperback, and compulsory reading.' - Journal for the Study of the
Old Testament
