I came across the "Early History of the Ancient Near East" but it isn't in Logos. Can anyone recommend a resource within Logos that would help me grasp the general history of the same period? Thanks
Several have been requested over the years: Civilizations of the Ancient Near East (Jack Sasson, ed.), Amélie Kuhrt's 2-volume history, or Van de Meiroop, and others as I recall. But I suspect the best thing currently available in Logos is Carta's Sacred Bridge.
I don't own this, can't vouch for it. https://www.logos.com/product/39272/the-ancient-near-east-an-essential-guide
This is quite good, but it's not a history, strictly speaking. https://www.logos.com/product/144862/the-world-around-the-old-testament
There really aren't any that just focus on history of the Ancient Near East from a strictly historical perspective, which is sad. With that said, besides what Ben provided, there is Peoples of the Old Testament World ,which I do like, but it is a collection of essays describing the individual history of each major world power, and not a straight forward history. I still find it helpful for a basic survey of the ANE.
It would be nice to have the following (all by Marc Van De Mieroop):
A History of the Ancient Near East, ca. 3000-323 BC
A History of Ancient Egypt
The Ancient Mesopotamian City
