About the Book

Ve-Eileh Divrei David: Essays in Semitics, Hebrew Bible and History of Biblical Scholarship, covers the career of S. David Sperling, a well-known and respected Biblical scholar. It is divided into three sections representing the three foci of the author’s work namely, Semitic philology, Bible, and the history of biblical scholarship. The chapters represent a remarkable 40 years of scholarship and convey deep knowledge of a range of topics that is rarely paralleled in today’s scholarship. “These 22 (previously published) essays reflect a lifetime’s contribution to the field of Semitic linguistics and philology … The treatments are rich in depth, and reflect serious engagement with the issues under discussion …” -Sandra Jacobs, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 43.5 (2019)
