Excerpt from The History of Israel, Vol. 2: Translated From the German Still we must guard against exaggerating the influence of Egyptian life upon the Israelites during those centuries. On this subject it is most instructive to form a clear idea of what this people really was in those old times, and what were the powerful impulses which caused it always to feel widely different from the Egyptians. Though some of these traits have been already noticed, they must now be discussed more fully and systematically.

In Christianity in the making, James D.G. Dunn examines in depth the major factors that shaped first-generation Christianity and beyond, exploring the parting of the ways between Christianity and Judaism, the Hellenization of Christianity, and responses to Gnosticism. He mines all the first- and second-century sources, including the New Testament Gospels, New Testament apocrypha, and such church fathers as Ignatius, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus, showing how the Jesus tradition and the figures of James, Paul, Peter, and John were still esteemed influences but were also the subject of intense controversy as the early church wrestled with its evolving identity.

In this new study, distinguished biblical scholar James L. Crenshaw investigates both the pragmatic hows and the philosophical whys of education in ancient Israel and its surroundings. Asking questions as basic as "Who were the teachers and students, and from what segment of Israelite society did they come?" and "How did instructors interest young people in the things they had to say?, " Crenshaw considers the institutions and practices of the ancient Israelite educational system. He also examines the beginnings of literacy in the Ancient Near East, explores how Israel and its neighbors made the transformation from an oral to a written culture, and explores the literary works that constituted the canon of this distant culture.

Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IT. MILITARY ORGANISATION. It was in war, more especially, that the nascent kingdom of Israel inaugurated a new era, essentially different from earlier times. The strong force which David had got together at Adullam and at Ziklag became the nucleus of an excellent permanent army, which enjoyed, in its time, supremacy through all the south of Syria. Up to that time, Israel had been exposed to perpetual attacks from its ne'ghbours, and had always proved itself inferior to the Philistines. Now, the Philistines are about to be subdued, and the neighbouring peoples made tributary. Israel is about to form a regular kingdom, dwelling in safety behind its frontiers, and for a time exercising dominion over neighbouring states. What had characterised the epoch of the Judges, and had led to the defeats of Israel, were the want of precaution and the inferiority of arms. David made an ample provision of weapons of defence, which were stored in the citadel of Jerusalem.* * Song of Solomon, ch. iv. v. 4. Up to that time, the gibbor had owned his own arms, which, in consequence, were often of inferior quality or badly cared for. The man of war was now equipped by the Ving, and those innumerable episodes where the Philistine, with a strong helmet, a long lance, and porfected cuirass, mocked at the Israelite, armed with nothing but a sling or a short sword * did not again occur. An army, in ancient times, could nearly always trace its origin to a band of robbers, or what amounts to the same thing, to men who were unwilling to work and who determined to live upon the work of others. As a matter of course, these brigands, once their authority was recognised over a certain area of country, became the natural protectors of those who laboured for them....
