Jill Katz's Book Unearths Canaanite Ritual Life in Middle Bronze Age

Jill Katz
Dr. Jill Katz, adjunct professor of anthropology and archaeology at Yeshiva University, recently published The Archaeology of Cult in Middle Bronze Age Canaan (Gorgias Press). The book is based on Prof. Katz's archaeological research at the biblical site of Gerar (Tell Haror) in southern Israel and attempts to unearth what the Canaanite religion was like during the time of the biblical patriarchs (Middle Bronze Age).
