Description
Although 'Theologies of the Old Testament' continue to proliferate, most
of these do not interact with the many recent studies of Israelite
religion that have appeared. Drawing on archaeology and other ancient
Near Eastern material, these studies present a reconstruction of
religious life in ancient Israel that ought to be of some importance for
the theological interpretation of the biblical text. This collection of
essays integrates reconstructions of ancient Israelite religious
practice into theologically-oriented interpretation of the Old
Testament. In essays ranging from discussion of Sumerian hymns to early
Iron Age incense burners, respected biblical scholars and archaeologists
provide new insights into the biblical theology of the Christian Bible.
