The Lives of Ordinary People tells the untold story of how the vast majority of Israelites ― the people who are usually overlooked in "typical" histories of ancient Israel ― lived during the eighth century b.c.e. William G. Dever applies the latest archaeological evidence and his own considerable expertise to answer the question What was it really like to live in Israel's divided kingdom? Writing as an archaeologist who is also a secular humanist; Dever relies primarily on archaeological data rather than the Hebrew Bible for his source material. He uncovers and analyzes rich archaeological troves that provide vital clues about how most people lived. Illustrated by photos; maps; charts; site plans; and specially commissioned drawings; Dever's work brings vividly to life a world too long buried beneath dusty texts and stony landscapes.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Confused and DisappointingBy Virginia EngineerI read this after reading Newbigin; Vos; Van Til; Schaeffer; and a little Keller. Christianity Today identified this book as seminal in the missions church movement. However; I found it uneven and without clear definition of the problem it wants to address as well as without clear definition of a way forward. I guess I'll need to look elsewhere for clarity on the topic of a missions church.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Some great; some not.By cmgA decent read. I read it for a class. Some of the information was decent but it is generally geared toward people that have no understanding of the postmodern worldview.My biggest issue is that some chapters flow beautifully and some chapters are like trying to run through neck deep maple syrup. I believe this is due to the multiple authors and their distinct writing styles.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Marty CauleyGuder has provided us with yet another invaluable tool for understanding mission and evagelism.
