The Origins of Biblical Israel
ISBN: 9780567137616 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The book starts from the problem defined by recent archaeological discovery about the societies that formed the backbone of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, their origins and their relationship. It has become clear that the biblical notion of a 12-tribe 'nation' united by descent and religion does not correspond to these findings. The challenge is not to argue endlessly about how far the differing accounts can be reconciled, as a prolongation of an old debate about biblical 'historicity', but to try and understand what historical, social and cultural process led to the production of the...

First Person: Essays in Biblical Autobiography
ISBN: 9781841272450 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hebrew Biblical narratives are notoriously sparing in their portrayal of character, leaving much to the reader. Here a number of internationally renowned scholars assume the identities of some familiar biblical characters, and use the clues in the text, their own exegetical skills and knowledge of the biblical world, and their readerly imagination to fill in the gaps of the biblical text. In doing so, they remove the point of view of the biblical narrator, allowing the ideology of the text to be affirmed, adjusted or challenged. Contributors to this volume include Francis Landy, Athalya... Hebrew Biblical narratives are notoriously sparing in their portrayal of character, leaving much to the reader.

In Search of 'Ancient Israel': A Study in Biblical Origins
ISBN: 9780567662972 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The appearance of In Search of 'Ancient Israel' generated a still-raging controversy about the historical reality of what biblical scholars call 'Ancient Israel'. But its argument not only takes in the problematic relationship between Iron Age Palestinian archaeology and the biblical 'Israel' but also outlines the processes that created the literature of the Hebrew bible-the ideological matrix, the scribal milieu, and the cultural adoption of a national literary archive as religious scripture as part of the process of creating 'Judaisms'. As such, in this volume Philip R. Davies...

Qumran
ISBN: 9780718891411 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the Cities of the Biblical World series - a series describing the recent archaeological developments at major Biblical sites for the general reader, the student and the tourist. Until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947, and the subsequent excavation of Khirbet Qumran, the existence of a Jewish settlement near the Dead Sea remained unsuspected by biblical scholars. Apart from one possible allusion in the Old Testament, the site is unrecorded in the Bible, and no hint emerges of the fascinating community which inhabited it in Jesus' own day. In Biblical terms it could be...
