11. Conclusion – Lester L. Grabbe, University of Hull, UK
Contributions examine all the key aspects of the Late Bronze Age as relevant to Biblical history.
Lester L. Grabbe is Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies at the University of Hull, UK.
Grabbe’s treatment of the LBA [Late Bronze Age] in Canaan, always a
provocative topic to address for biblical historians, Egyptologists
and archaeologists, provides a worthy contribution to the ongoing
discussion of this fascinating, but complex historical period.
*Reading Religion*
An extensive bibliography, as well as a register of authors and
registries conclude the highly informative volume, which is good
for our current knowledge of the Late Bronze Age, but also partly
for the beginnings of later Israel.
