For Those Who Sleep in the Dust draws together a lifetime of essential scholarship from one of Syro-Palestinian archaeology's most prolific scholars. Thirteen of William G. Dever's essays cover a range of hotly debated topics, including the origins of the Israelite people, the development of the state, and Israelite religion. These essays not only illuminate the ancient human experience but also make biblical archaeology accessible to anyone who needs a broad introduction to what archaeology can and cannot reveal about the Bible.
