Soggin, J. Alberto-An introduction to the History of Israel and Judah

An introduction to the History of Israel and Judah by J. Alberto Soggin, the Third Edition, translated by John Bowden from Introduzione alla Storia dÍsraele e di Giuda. 
Brisk, easy-to-read and never dull, the strengths of this history lie in a concern for all aspects of the history of Israel and Judah, political and economic factors, religious and theological interpretation, methodology, geography and topography.
