Rezensionen

John J. Collins may well be the single most influential scholar of the Old Testament and Hebrew Bible alive. He is well known, his work much respected, and he possesses an encyclopedic mind like few others. Collins does here what he generally does best: He surveys an enormous amount of literature, both primary and secondary, summarizes it masterfully, and then forcefully articulates his own thesis."-Matthias Henze, Isla Carroll and Perry E. Turner Professor of Hebrew Bibleand Early Judaism, Rice University
