Reviews
Written primarily from an archaeological point of view, this book offers an excellent summary of the key data used by different scholars to offer rival interpretations of Assyria's impact on each main site in the Southwest Levant. * Lucas G. Freire, Classical Review * Faust's book is a major contribution to the field of the history of Israel and Judah in the eighth and seventh centuries, and will probably become a standard work for Biblical scholars and Assyriologists. Furthermore, it is highly recommendable for students in all branches of Biblical studies, so that they may learn how scientific knowledge is achieved in this field. * Ariel M. Bagg, Ruprecht-Karls Universit¨at Heidelberg, Journal of Near Eastern Studies * Wise vassals will pay tribute to acquire this volume. * MARK A. AWABDY, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament * Faust has provided a thoroughly researched and detailed study of the incursion and impact of Assyria on the Southwest Levant in the eighth and seventh centuries BCE, shedding light on and raising questions about this period of Biblical history. He has made a viable contribution to not only encourage the study of this period of Biblical history, but has also provided a wealth of material in both his notes and bibliography to encourage scholars and students to plunge into the subject and to pursue it even further as academic curiosity and the urge toward inquiry inspires them. * Kenneth R. Cooper, Near East Archaeological Society * Faust has written a comprehensive and insightful study, well illustrated with several maps. It provides the specialist and the wider public with a detailed analysis and explicit interpretations of the evidence. This publication is currently the best summary of the Assyrian era in the southern Levant and will stimulate the ongoing debate and the research of this important period. * Gunnar Lehmann, Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies * Biblical descriptions, combined with spectacular archaeological discoveries over the past two centuries, provide a good understanding of the period. * Etienne Nodet, Revue Biblique * The book under review will be of great relevance to all those with an interest in the history and archaeology of Israel and Judah and their immediate neighbours, but also to those who study the Assyrian Empire and its mechanisms of governance and exploitation, and any archaeologist working with materials from this kingdom's centre, provinces and client states. * Karen Radner, Bibliotheca Orientalis *
