| Summary: | Albright was above all else a historian of Israelite religion. The goal of his life's work was to trace the origin and development of Israelite religion based on the biblical texts and the archaeology of the biblical world. But Albright's vision of Israelite religion was clouded by his clear affinity for the strictly monotheistic religious attitude of the Hebrew Bible's latest editors and his own traditional Christian worldview. The author takes us through Albright's world, reconstructing the intellectual environment of the mid-twentieth century that helped to shape his thinking. |
