Colleagues and former students honor Professor Jo Ann Hackett in this collection of essays focused on her interests in Northwest Semitic languages and epigraphy, and Southern Levantine religions of the Iron Age. Each of the three sections begins with concise methodological chapters followed by subject-specific application chapters. Each contributor illuminates the unifying theme of the collection: the continuing value and necessity of philological and comparative study of the Hebrew Bible.
