New light on an ancient world: a thoughtful study of the Amorites and their homeland. This volume examines Amurru, the Semitic realm that influenced Babylonia and may have shaped early Hebrew culture. It presents a careful, evidence-based case for origins in the West rather than a pure Babylonian import, and it traces how Amorite names, deities, and writings fit into early Mesopotamian history. The work offers fresh perspectives on Ur of the Chaldees, Mari, and other centers, while weighing competing theories with clear, scholarly argument.

- Learn how Amurru and its people might have shaped early Mesopotamian culture and religion.
- See how inscriptions, names, and writing illuminate the links between Amorite and Babylonian traditions.
- Understand how these ideas affect views of biblical history and the origins of Semitic cultures.
- Get a sense of the challenges and uncertainties scholars face as they piece together ancient events.

Ideal for readers interested in ancient Near Eastern history, early Semitic languages, and the roots of biblical culture. This edition situates the Amorites at the center of a long, evolving historical narrative and invites thoughtful engagement with one of the field's enduring debates.
