Good+Sources

Good Sources:

THE BIBLE: http://www.bibleontheweb.com/Bible.asp (It's the bible. Remember that. Cross reference with actual historical documents.)

The Sources Malik Emailed Us (Digital):

__Sources for the Invasion of Canaan:__ http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/hebcanaan.html (Only slightly pro-hebrew. Quite reliable. Excellent source.) http://oaks.nvg.org/hebrews.html --- This is the one for Malik (Not screamingly biased, but potentially unreliable. Badly referenced. Check credibility with other sources.) http://www.theology.edu/conquest.htm (Divinity school funded by a tiny southern baptist church. Tread very lightly. Likely very pro-christian, conceivably some antisemitism.) http://ed5015.tripod.com/BCanaaniteApocalypseExodusHistorical135.html (Has "Myth" in the title. Decidedly opinionated. Worth taking a look at to absorb point of view ) http://otstory.wordpress.com/2009/01/30/the-formation-of-ancient-israel/ http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/jews.htm (Watch for bias here. Interesting article, but remember to process for actual historical information-look for things that get repeated across other sources.) http://www.bidstrup.com/bible.htm (Stop at 'Greek Influence')

__Judges:__ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samson

__Canaanite-Hebrew-Same-People-Theory:__ http://encyclopediaegypt.com/israel/i0300.htm

Digital: www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org (generally reliable, slightly biased: judeocentric) http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/brief/Archaeology.html (see above) http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/judaica/ejud_0002_0002_0_01460.html (see above) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exodus (Unbiased, by virtue of its collaborative nature. __not necessarily reliable__. Be absolutely certain to cross-reference.) http://www.valleybible.net/Adults/ClassNotes/HistoryOfIsrael/Period%202-The%20Sojourn%20in%20Egypt,%20Exodus%20&%20Wilderness%20Wanderings.pdf (Decidedly biased: pro-isrealite, but absolutely worth using. Just watch out for it.) http://www.christiananswers.net/q-abr/abr-a027.html (Uses the Bible as a source to explain Jacob and the Israelites' time in Egypt historically. Presumably Christian-centric, but still might have a good interpretation of the Bible as a historical document.) http://gbgm-umc.org/umw/joshua/conquest.html
