Editor's Notes

  1. Canaanites were farmes/ seafarers. (CARTHAGE!) Phoenicians were important because their travel transmitted culture.
  2. 1300 BC Israelites are in Egypt
  3. David – Solomon 1000 – 922 BC Israel fell 722BC
  4. Judah fell 586 BC
  5. They were ruled by foreigners for approximately 2500 years until 1948!
  6. EXPLAIN COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM: Here is a god who is personally involved with his people – so much so he is saying he is willing to die for them! This is vastly different from Mesopotamia and Egypt!
  7. “Government was not subject to secular, reasoned analysis but rested on religious authority, tradition, and power [in Mesopotamia/Egypt/Israel]. Individual freedom had no importance.” p.32 READ QUOTE ON PG.35
