Biblical Semantic Logic first appeared in 1981, and seeks to show
that the study of biblical and ancient Near Eastern languages and
literatures can be established on a logical basis. In a new
prologue for this edition, Gibson reviews some of the scholarly
treatment of the topic since the appearance of the first edition.
He addresses the topics of originality and infinity and also
suggests that deep areas of literary creativity resemble cosmology
and pure mathematics. Gibson then demonstrates how the central
areas of biblical usage (names, predicates expressions of quantity,
idioms) can be mapped employing some contemporary philosophy, logic
and linguistics. There is criticism of some previous scholarly
interpretations, expecially where these have led to the
underestimation of the conceptual and logical sensitivity of
biblical narrative.>
