About the Book

The Oxford Handbooks series is a major new initiative in academic publishing. Each volume offers an authoritative and up-to-date survey of original research in a particular subject area. Specially commissioned essays from leading figures in the discipline give critical examinations of the progress and direction of debates. Biblical studies is a highly technical and diverse field. Study of the Bible demands expertise in fields ranging from Archaeology, Egyptology, Assyriology, and Linguistics through textual, historical, and sociological studies to Literary Theory, Feminism, Philosophy, and Theology, to name only some. This authoritative and compelling guide to the discipline will, therefore, be an invaluable reference work for all students and academics who want to explore more fully essential topics in Biblical studies.

...a must for all biblical students. H. Kraus, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament [readers] will be richly rewarded by the wealth of admirably presented material which it contains. A. E. Harvey, Journal of Theological Studies Awesome is the word that springs to mind after a perusal of The Oxford Handbook of Biblical Studies. THES
