Blogger's Choice - Articles recommended by biblioblogger Jim West (https://zwingliusredivivus.wordpress.com):

Christof Berns (Hamburg, Germany) Miletus. Berns examines and describes the archaeology of the city, from its earliest days through the 14th century. He offers readers a precis of the relevant facts and includes a brief, but current bibliography for those interested in further details.

Younghwa Kim (Decatur, GA, USA) Millennium, Millennialism III. Christianity D. East Asia and Africa. The fascinating way in which Christian millennialism was received in East Asia and Africa is described in Kim's contribution within the larger discussion of the 'Millennium.' He remarks, for example, "In the mid-19th century Qing dynasty, Hong Xiuquan's anticipation of the millennial kingdom influenced the Taiping Rebellion, a religious and political movement seeking to reform Chinese society." Throughout the article, he shows how Millennialism is not merely an intellectual enterprise of end-time speculation, but a real world danger.

Hervé Gonzalez (Lausanne, Switzerland) Miscarriage I. Ancient Near East and Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. In what can only be described as a fascinating essay on the problem of miscarriage in the Hebrew Bible and the Ancient Near East, weread "Despite a great number of stories about pregnancy and birth in the HB/OT (esp. in the book of Genesis), no narrative focuses on a miscarrying woman." The entire essay is learned and provocative.

Judith R. Baskin (Eugene, OR, USA), Misogyny III. Judaism C. Medieval Judaism - D. Modern Judaism. Worth quoting in full are the opening lines of Baskin's contribution: "Medieval Judaism expanded negative biblical and rabbinic views of women. These included constructing women as other and lesser than men, a tradition based on the rabbinic privileging of the origin narrative of male primacy in Gen 2:7, rather than the simultaneous creation of both males and females in Gen 1:26-28 (bKet 8a; BerR 17:4; Baskin 2002)." Her two-section contribution is exceptionally informative.

Wolfgang Zwickel (Mainz, Germany) Moab, Moabite I. Ancient Near East and Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. Zwickel's essay focuses on Moab and the Moabites in the Hebrew Bible. Accordingly, he offers readers an overview of both the sources and the appearance of the terms within the literature of the Old Testament. He moves from particular texts to specific eras in a contribution that, to be fair, attempts to cover too much in too small a space due to the generic nature of an encyclopedic entry. It may have been better had this essay been divided into smaller sub-units covering the archaeological information and the textual information independently. Nonetheless, what's contained here is incredibly helpful and informative.

Jacob Cerone (Munich, Germany) Moses III. New Testament. Here Cerone looks at the New Testament's
