Daniel D Pioske

Memory in a Time of Prose

Studies in Epistemology, Hebrew Scribalism, and the Biblical Past

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Memory in a Time of Prose investigates a deceptively straightforward question: what did the biblical scribes know about a past that consumed so many of their writings? This book compares biblical references to an early Iron Age world (ca. 1175-830 BCE) with a wide range of archaeological and historical evidence from the era in which these stories are set in order to reveal how the past was preserved, transformed, or forgotten within biblicalstorytelling.
