Israel’s Origins

Jin Yang Kim at Old Testament Story has a good summary of the major views on the Formation of Ancient Israel. I would recommend it as a good review for students.

Claude Mariottini has also posted on the origins of Israel by commenting on Shlomo Zand’s work When and how was the Jewish People Invented? in a post called The Inventing of a Nation: When and How Was the Jewish People Invented.
