Excellent overview
This is a very good overview of the subject. It is necessarily brief in places. For example, I would have liked to have known a bit more about the Jews left in Judah during the period of exile - what was their relationship with their returning co-coreligionists? This is a 'political' history so you won't get much about religion or everyday life. I think that is unfortunate, as the belief in one God went through various permutations during the history of Israel. However I appreciated the fact that the ongoing debates and disagreements regarding the history of Israel are presented here, including the minimalists who dismiss David and Solomon as semi legendary figures. I suspect this recording to have been made earlier than the archaeological discoveries of 2007 which challenge the minimalist viewpoint, so it is not completely up to date. But as I say it is an excellent introduction to the subject.

easy on the ear and interesting
as a person who has a curiosity for the subject I found this book surprisingly easy to listen to and engaging - the accompanying booklet is very handy for picturing geographical accounts.

bringing ancient traditions to reality
This is great for anyone that has ever wondered how much evidence we have about some of the biblical characters and stories we are familiar with. I found it fascinating for example that we have zero archeological evidence that Moses and Abraham ever existed, while David and Jesus are more evident. As the author points out, the lack of evidence may be a sign that archaeologists just need to keep digging! I'd recommend this book, a long with Jerusalem: the contested city, by Frank Peters as a perfect accompaniment.

informative and entertaining.
it would be wrong for me to give this lecture series any less than 5 stars simply because it makes me a little uneasy. the information was well presented, scholarly and interesting. I recommend it. It will make conservative Christians uneasy however as the lecturer assumes a rather liberal position in regards to Biblical history.
