While the book is filled with information, the writing style is not overly academic and would be easy for the casual reader to follow.
The edition I read was published in the early 1970s. Perhaps more discoveries since that time have provided additional information either supporting or contradicting the conclusions in this book. For this reason, I might recommend a more current version or a newer work entirely. In addition, this book could use more tables, charts, timelines, and better photos.
All said, this book has given me a better understanding of the cultural context surrounding the Biblical OT narrative.
