Any attempt to produce a history of ancient Israel must begin by asking what we mean by history. What is history? Who writes it, how, and why? What are the appropriate sources, aims, and methods? William G. Dever, Beyond the Texts: An Archaeological Portrait of Ancient Israel and Judah

Graphic featuring University of Illinois Press logo reading: "We Need More Archaeologists. 'Studying Midwestern archaeology can tell us about the vibrant and dynamic relationship between people and the landscape as it has unfolded over thousands of years here in the American Midwest. The more people who study the ancient history of the Midwest, and the more these scholars come from different backgrounds or utilize different perspectives, the more we bring to light all the stories preserved in the archaeological record.' - G. Logan Miller, editor of Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology' #TalkAboutHumanities"

We need historians not just to understand the past, but to shape what comes next.

As we look ahead, the work of historians remains essential to public life, education, and a thriving democracy.
