Eminently qualified to write this groundbreaking book, Philip King is known as both an archaeological and biblical authority. Defining biblical archaeology as the "process of correlating archaeological evidence with the biblical record," he sees the function of this discipline as the illumination of the events recorded in the Bible in order to clarify the text. In Amos, Hosea, and Micah, King offers an enlightening and elegant commentary on the eight-century prophets from an archaeological perspective.

Philip King utilizes archaeological artifacts and texts of the late seventh and early sixth centuries BCE, many of them unpublished or not easily accessible, to elucidate the text of the book of Jeremiah, a book that is sometimes described as difficult and whose formation is complicated. By doing so, he adds important spatial and temporal dimension to the history of Israel and to the literature about the life of one of its most significant prophets: Jeremiah.

Amos, Hosea, Micah: An Archaelogical Commentary

This study is the first history of the American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR) in eighty years and one of the few histories of American archaeological work in the Mideast since 1903.  While this book focuses on ASOR and its history, it is only within the context of the history of the Mideast and archaeological work there that ASOR's work finds its significance.  Few are better qualified to relate this material than Philip J. King, President of ASOR from 1976 through 1982.  Prof. King has always been interested in the history of archaeological research.  His intimate association with ASOR for many years and finally as its president is evident throughout.  Illustrated with photographs of various persons and places drawn from a wide variety of sources, the volume introduces the reader to the great scholars of the past, as well as recounting the more recent history of American work in the Mideast.  The period covered is from the early nineteenth century through 1980.
