History and Ideology in the Old Testament

"The end of the millennium sees biblical study in a state of transition. The traditional position of historical approaches is widely questioned and 'historical criticism' is regarded as passe. There is a search for approaches, literary or sociological, that are less tied to history. On the other hand there is a more radical approach to the history of Israel that sees true history as distinct from the biblical narrative and dependent on sources other that the Bible."--Jacket.

First sentence: UNDER the terms of the Hensley Henson Bequest, the general subject of the lectures on which this book is based is defined as 'The Appeal to History as an Integral Part of Christian Apologetics'.
