Hi Tory!

John Bimson's arguments are motivated by a desire to fit the archaeological record into a particular way of reading the Bible. I doubt there are many archaeologists these days who would side with his chronology and its related conclusions. So, yes, you're right that there is an alternative to seeing the Philistines in the patriarchal narratives as anachronistic, but it's a rather weak argument and is not very well received as a result.
