This volume is a concentrated examination of the varied roles of
scribes and scribal practices in ancient Israel and Judah, shedding
light on the social world of the Hebrew Bible. Divided into
discussion of three key aspects, the book begins by assessing
praxis and materiality, looking at the tools and materials used by
scribes, where they came from and how they worked in specific
contexts. The contributors then move to observe the power and
status of scribal cultures, and how scribes functioned within their
broader social world. Finally, the volume offers perspectives that
examine ideological issues at play in both antiquity and the modern
context(s) of biblical scholarship. Taken together, these essays
demonstrate that no text is produced in a void, and no writer
functions without a network of resources.
