商品簡介
The Bible depicts the Philistines and Hebrews in constant conflict, and Niesiolowski-Spanó investigates the extent to which the biblical narrative reflects historical reality. He considers the Old Testament to be a dynamic rather than static document until recent times, but also believes it would have been redacted by conservative literary elite so is not totally devoid of use to historians. His topics are problems connected with intercultural relations, the Philistines and Palestine, the peoples of Palestine in the Bible, the Philistines in the Bible and history, and the Philistine influence on the Bible and the culture of the Hebrews.
