Perhaps no biblical episode is more troubling than the conquest of Canaan. But do the so-called holy war texts of the Old Testament portray a divinely inspired genocide? John Walton and J.

Egypt 2 Canaan
Author: Stacey Cargnelutti
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664294376
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 536
Book Description
Egypt 2 Canaan is a thought-provoking compilation of life-changing spiritual lessons to deepen your connection, restore emotional and physical health, and live the abundant life you’re here for. Since its first publication in 2017 the book has proven to be a faithful companion in navigating any wilderness journey and guiding you into the promised land flowing with milk and honey. The Old Testament story of Israel’s exodus from Egyptian captivity into the free and abundant land of Canaan is the perfect backdrop for E2C because it’s our journey as well. Interestingly, we live in the greatest age of information and illumination ever, yet modern-day slavery is at an all-time high. With answers at our fingertips and help around every corner, why is addiction, anxiety, disconnect, self-harm, trafficking, obesity, divorce, depression, cancer, diabetes, suicide... on the rise? And why are we bent to choose stress, strife, struggle, and suffering to the high call of God and unfailing love that pursues us relentlessly? We can avoid these questions and hope for the best or ask and BE OUR BEST! Quality questions create quality lives. The truth is, we are spiritual beings in need of a spiritual source of supply. I think of Paul who said in effect, “O foolish one, who has bewitched you to not obey the truth... Do you really think you can perfect in the flesh what began in the Spirit” (Galatians 3:1-3 paraphrase)? We will never be satisfied doing life in the shallows when designed and destined for the deep things of God and a net-breaking catch of CRAZY AMAZING! Apart from intimacy and divine revelation love grows cold, discipleship fades, souls are abandoned, and God-given visions become elusive pipe dreams. And deep calls unto deeper still! E2C is a forty-lesson journey that will challenge you on every front and help you live a free and abundant life in Christ. You will learn to... • Discern the voice of God • Release weight and improve health • Walk by faith not sight • Clear clutter and order your life • Deepen connection and cultivate intimacy • Sustain greater focus and motivation • Stop overthinking and start acting • Improve communication and increase confidence and command • Recognize and dispel fear, anxiety, depression • Stop cycles of sabotage • Know greater peace and personal power • Renew youth and more...

From Egypt to Canaan examines the fascinating record of the journey of the children of Israel across hundreds of miles of barren desert to reach at last their promised land.

Canaanites
Author: Jonathan N. Tubb
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 9780806131085
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Canaanites explores the ancient population of the Western Levant (Israel, Transjordan, Lebanon, and coastal Syria), examining the development of its distinctive culture from the early farming communities of the eighth millennium B.C. to the fragmentation of its social and cultural ideals in the latter half of the first millennium B.C. Jonathan N. Tubb makes judicious use of the Hebrew Bible in describing Canaanite culture. He views the Bible as a rich resource for understanding the literary and theological heritage of Israel, which he classifies as a subculture of Canaan. At the same time he reveals the limitations of the Bible as a historical document, arguing that to reconstruct the Canaanites' history we must first look at the archaeological data. Tubb stresses the continuity of Canaanite civilization, portraying events such as the imposition of Egyptian imperial rule and the development of historical Israel as episodic interruptions.

Archaeology and the Religions of Canaan and Israel

ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Annotation This book discusses the role of religion in Canaanite and Israelite society, from the Middle Bronze Age through the Israelite Divided Monarchy (2000-587 BC). It contains an extensive archaeological study of all known Middle Bronze through Iron Age temples, sanctuaries, and open-air shrines, organized by period and geographic region. Social science and textually based analyses of sacrifice in antiquity reveal the many ways in which religion was related to social structure, and the author emphasizes the ways in which social, economic and political relationships determined - and were shaped by - forms of religious organization.

Egypt in the Eastern Mediterranean During the Old Kingdom
Author: Karin Sowada
Publisher: Saint-Paul
ISBN: 9783525534557
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
This study presents a revised view of Egyptian foreign relations in the eastern Mediterranean during the Old Kingdom (3rd-6th Dynasties) based on an extensive analysis of old and new archaeological data, and its relationship to the well-known textual sources. The material demonstrates that while Egypt's most important relationships were with Byblos and the Lebanese coast generally, it was an active participant in the geo-political and economic affairs of the Levant throughout much of the third millennium BCE. The archaeological data shows that the foundation of these relationships was established at the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period and essentially continued until the end of the 6th Dynasty with ebbs, flows and changes of geographical and political emphasis. It is argued that, despite the paucity of textual data, the 4th Dynasty represents the apogee of Egypt's engagement in the region, a time when the centralised state was at the height of its power and control of human and economic capital. More broadly, this study shows that Egyptian interaction in the eastern Mediterranean fits the pattern of state-to-state contact between ruling elites which was underpinned by official expeditions engaged in gift and commodity exchange, diplomatic endeavours and military incursions.
