"Early Israel and the Surrounding Nations" by A. H. (Archibald Henry) Sayce is a historical journey to discover the beginnings of Israel and its connections to other old civilizations in the Near East. The book paints a picture of the ancient world, marked by the relationships and dynamics between groups of people. It shows how the land of ancient Palestine, though small, was a central place in shaping not only Israel but also the histories of its neighbors like the Babylonians and Egyptians. The book explains that the Israelites, who started as newcomers, mixed with the people already living there, which led to a mix of cultures and religions. This interaction led to the creation of Israel’s identity, beliefs, as well as its place in history.
