The contributions to this volume reflect upon changing paradigms
within biblical scholarship, and in how biblical scholarship is
taught. Taken together, they offer a multifaceted and informative
indication of how open-mindedness in one's approach can yield
fascinating results across the study of the Old Testament/Hebrew
Bible. The range in topic of the contributions is exemplified in
the difference between the first chapter, which works from the
personal anecdote of the changing opinion of its author to make a
wider point about models for Pentateuchal formation, and the third
chapter, which comments on the current state of the study of
ancient Israel in universities today. Other contributions include;
an essay on the subject of space as a social construct in Isaiah
24-27; civil courage and whether the Bible allows room for protest;
the question of monotheism in Persian Judah; the historical Ezra,
and the telling of the story of Joseph (Genesis 50: 15-21) in
children's Bibles in the Netherlands. The contributors include Hugh
Williamson, Ehud Ben Zvi, Rainer Albertz, Karel von der Toorn, and
Christoph Uehlinger.
