The Bible And Zionism by Nur Masalha
Invented Traditions, Archaeology and Post-Colonialism in Palestine-Israel
The book argues that Zionism systematically appropriated and reinterpreted biblical texts and archaeological practice to construct a modern historical narrative that legitimized Jewish settlement and facilitated the dispossession of Palestinians; it shows how ‘invented traditions,’ selective readings of scripture, nationalist archaeology, place‑name changes and colonial institutions combined to erase Palestinian presence from the landscape and scholarly discourse, and calls for a postcolonial reassessment of biblical scholarship and archaeology to expose power relations and recover suppressed Palestinian histories.
