The Raging Torrent presents a comprehensive choice of the royal inscriptions and varied chronographic texts from Assyria and Babylonia that treat the Land of Israel and the People of Israel.

Some of the texts relate to events described in the Hebrew Bible, whilst others provide details about affairs that were unknown until their rediscovery in up to date times. The entire texts have been newly translated from the original cuneiform documents and are accompanied by a consecutive statement and make a selection bibliography.

Illustrative material—maps and photographs of relevant artifacts—provide additional accessibility to the sources of this intriguing period in the history of the ancient Near East.
