Poder da religião, Israel e Judá, sítios arqueológicos

Resumo

O objetivo deste artigo e mostrar a falta de evidências arqueológicas que comprovem o poder da religião institucional em Israel e Judá. Essa falta e atestada através da análise local (in situ), com auxílio bibliográfico, dos principais sítios arqueológicos desses dois reinos: Megiddo, Hazor, Gezer, Da, Samaria, Betel, Silo, Jerusalem, Laquis e Arad. A conclusão e de que em todos esses sítios o poder da religião, com templos e grandes altares, era muito forte até o final do Bronze Tardio. Na transição do Bronze para o Ferro I, e particularmente para o Ferro II, quando essas cidades se tornam israelitas, as evidências do poder da religião desaparecem. Só voltam a aparecer, em Judá, no final do século VII AEC.
