Summary
Israel in Canaan by Jacob S. Golub, Ph.D., offers a thoughtful and scholarly examination of the Israelites’ settlement in Canaan, exploring historical, cultural, and theological aspects of this formative period in Jewish history. Golub, also the author of In the Days of the Second Temple, brings academic rigor and accessible prose to a complex subject, making this volume suitable for both scholars and lay readers. Published in 1930 by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, this edition was designed for educational use within synagogues and Hebrew schools. This vintage hardcover shows typical signs of age-related wear but remains solidly bound with a well-preserved spine and legible cover design featuring simple pastoral imagery. It is a rare and valuable addition to any Judaica or early 20th-century religious education collection.
