A lifetime of essential scholarship from one of biblical archaeology’s most prolific scholars

For Those Who Sleep in the Dust collects thirteen of William G. Dever’s best articles and essays on the archaeological history of ancient Israel. Dever’s work on a range of hotly debated topics, including the origins of the Israelite people, the development of the state, and Israelite religion, gives voice to the ordinary, anonymous Israelites and Judahites hidden in the shadows of the leaders, battles, and religious debates memorialized in the Hebrew Bible. These essays not only illuminate the ancient human experience but also make biblical archaeology accessible to anyone who needs a broad introduction to what archaeology can and cannot reveal about the Bible.
