About the Book

No problem so vexes learning as how to balance the claims of the written record of humanity against the actualities of man's material detritus. Religious Texts and Material Contexts brings together scholars of the written record and those of the material realm beyond, especially those working in the academic study of religion. This book examines the relationship between archaeology and text-scholarship through religion featuring cases of archaeology supported and not supported by written evidence.

Review :
The papers presented make for fascinating reading, and they offer an excellent model for the further study of biblical and rabbinic literature in the light of modern archaeological finds.
