Origins of Israel

From the Paper:

" The issue of the origins of Israel has been approached from different perspectives, and several models have been offered to explain the presence of Israel in Canaan. There are three primary models to explain this issue. The first is the Conquest Model, which explains the matter in terms of Israel seizing Canaan in a massive, unified military conquest. The second contends that Israel occupied Canaan by peaceful infiltration, treaty making, and natural population growth--the Immigration Model. The third is more recent and holds that Israel was a sector of the native Canaanite population that revolted against the city-state overlords and upper classes and established its own sociopolitical and religious alternative order--the Social Revolution Model. Each will be considered in turn for its strengths and weaknesses."
