From Canaan to Israel: The Making of the Jewish People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798234059413)

This book offers a new perspective on the origins of the Jewish people. It explores the history of the many peoples and tribes that inhabited the land known as Canaan, Israel, Judea, and Palestine, showing how, over centuries, they merged into a single people: the Judeans.
Contrary to long-held beliefs, the ancient Israelites did not destroy or expel the peoples of Canaan. Instead, they were absorbed among them - passing on their name, their historical memory, and, above all, their religion. The roots of the Jewish people thus lie not only in the biblical patriarchs, but even more deeply in the indigenous population of Canaan.
Accessible yet grounded in historical analysis, this book traces the transformation of Canaan into the Land of Israel and the emergence of its people as the Jews.
