The volume will be a collection of essays by leading scholars on
the interpretation of the Old Testament on the topics of law and
ethics. The book is a Festschrift for Prof. Gordon Wenham. Its
chosen theme is intended to reflect his central interests in his
long career of writing on the Old Testament, in which he has
exemplified the highest standards of scholarship, but also written
for practitioners of biblical interpretation. The topic of 'reading
the law' has three aspects which will be treated by the various
contributions, namely: Reading the Pentateuch: Pentateuchal
criticism, narrative readings, rhetorical-critical readings;
Reading the Law: the law codes in historical and/or literary
context, anthropological readings, the law in relation to prophets,
wisdom, worship; Reading the Bible ethically: e.g. ethics of
marriage, war. Claudia Camp and Andrew Mein were formerly of
"Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Supplement", a book
series that features original and creative approaches to the
interpretation of Old Testament literature. "The Bible in the 21st
Century" series, a part of "JSOTS", seeks to examine contemporary
authoritative and cultural meanings of bibles by focusing on the
processes of transmission, readership and actualization of biblical
texts up to and including the twenty-first century. The series
explores issues related to contemporary culture and the place of
the bible and religion within it. Copenhagen International Seminar
is also part of "JSOTS."
