Episode 54: The Philistines
from A Cast of Pods · host Jose Acierto
"The Philistines, Their History and Civilization" is a 1913 monograph by R. A. S. Macalister that examines the history and culture of the Philistines, a mysterious people who occupied a coastal region in ancient Palestine. The book explores their possible origins, their religious practices, and their place within the broader ancient Near Eastern context. Macalister argues that the Philistines may have been part of the "Sea People" migrations of the 12th century BCE and that they worshipped Canaanite deities, including Baal-zebub, Astarte, and Dagon.
