In Search of 'Ancient Israel': A Study in Biblical Origins
ISBN: 9780567662972 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

Writing the Bible: Scribes, Scribalism and Script
ISBN: 9781138661042 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For many years it has been recognized that the key to explaining the production of the Bible lies in understanding the profession, the practice and the mentality of scribes in the ancient Near East, classical Greece and the Greco-Roman world. In many ways, however, the production of the Jewish literary canon, while reflecting wider practice, constitutes an exception because of its religious function as the written "word of God," leading in turn to the veneration of scrolls as sacred and even cultic objects in themselves. "Writing the Bible" brings together the wide-ranging study of all major...
