The book represents the collection of the papers presented at the
2004 SBL sessions for the section, Social-Scientific Studies of the
Second Temple period, the purpose of which was to create
understanding about current historiography as it relates to
biblical studies and ancient Israel amidst diverging academic
trends. Papers and responses sought to avoid polemics while
concurrently bringing to clarification methodological practices of
prominent historians in an effort to move beyond hortatory
polemics. Those writing papers were asked to specify their own
methodology and the assumptions and philosophy underlying their
methodology in an effort to create understanding for the audience.
Respondents to the papers met two requests - to summarize the
methodology of the paper and to respond to the methodology,
philosophy, and presuppositions of the historian.
