| Sumario: | This paper presents some reflections and a state of the art about the ways in which current historiography on ancient Israel has changed the interpretative approach to the subject, especially during the last five decades. The key question resides in the status of the Old Testament as a historical source, but also in the reference of events in the biblical narrative and the methods deployed in the historical analysis of ancient Palestine’s past. Two historiographical possibilities have been developed in historical biblical studies in Europe and the United States: the first one, to continue producing a historiography about ancient Israel building upon the narrative scheme in the Old Testament, and the second one, to produce a historiography essentially concerned with ancient Palestine and its material and intellectual conditions with the Old Testament as a secondary source for the history of the Iron Age (ca. 1200-600 BCE). |
