The Politics of Israel's Past: The Bible, Archaeology and Nation-Building (edited by Emanuel Pfoh and Keith W. Whitelam; Sheffield: Sheffield Phoenix Press, 2013).

Each of these articles illustrates the close relationship between the Bible, archaeology and processes of nation-building in the State of Israel. The Politics of Israel’s Past engages in the ways contemporary politics affects the knowledge of the past and how constructions of an ancient past legitimate modern political situations.
