Produktbeschreibung

Biblical Interpretation beyond Historicity evaluates the new perspectives that have emerged since the crisis over historicity in the 1970s and 80s in the field of biblical scholarship. This volume analyses the consequences of the question: "If the Bible is not history, what is it then?" and features essays from a range of highly regarded scholars. Offering a unique gathering of scholars and challenging new theories, this book is invaluable to students in the field of Biblical and East Mediterranean Studies, and is a crucial resource for anyone working on both the archaeology and history of Palestine and the ancient Near East, and the religious development of Europe and the Near East.
