Synopsis: A Land Like Your Own explores the ways the Bible has
reused previous traditions and has subsequently been reused by both
Jews and Christians. The ten essays included cover a broad range of
topics in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and subsequent
traditions, but they all highlight the many ways in which the
traditions associated with Israel have impacted communities. A Land
Like Your Own will interest anyone involved in biblical studies
(students and scholars alike) through its wide-ranging array of
topics, highlighting how interconnected the many biblical studies
subdisciplines truly are. Endorsements: "This collection of essays
originated in two conferences organized by graduate students of the
School of Religions and Theology at Trinity College Dublin. Young
scholars from Ireland, Britain, and the United States, working in
the areas of Biblical and Near Eastern Studies, share their
insights on a range of quite diverse topics. These have been
skillfully brought together by the editors, employing the symbol of
the 'Land' as indicative of both loss and hope, reflective of the
ways in which the past is variously figured and re-configured by
the authors of both Testaments. They are to be congratulated for
their initiative in organizing the conferences and applauded for
making their deliberations accessible to a wider audience. This
collection is a testimony to the ways in which modern Biblical
Studies can stimulate new generations of scholars to engage with
the Classic texts from the past in a manner that also reflects
their own time and place." --Sean Freyne Professor of Theology,
Emeritus Trinity College, Dublin Editor Biography: Jason M.
Silverman is completing his PhD at Trinity College Dublin and is

the Biblical World conference committee. He is the editor of the
