Description
Book SynopsisAncient Israelite and Early Jewish Literature offers more than simply an introduction to the Hebrew Bible. Increased interest in Early Judaism as successor to the religion of Ancient Israel and background to the New Testament demands an introduction that guides the reader through the maze of Jewish literature dating from the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods in addition to the Hebrew Bible.
Trade Review'This book presents a wealth of information in a refreshing way. It not only describes the literature from the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), but it also puts it within the context of the literature of the Ancient Near East and Early Judaism. Written in a grand style, it is a witness to the superb scholarship of the late Adam S. van der Woude and Th.C. Vriezen. An ideal text book for graduate classes in Hebrew Bible, Old Testament, and Early Judaism.' Kristin De Troyer, Professor of Hebrew Bible, Claremont School of Theology.
