These two volumes collect some of the most influential and
important scholarly essays by the late Morton Smith (1915-1991),
for many years Professor of Ancient History at Columbia University
in New York City. Smith was admired and feared for his
extraordinary ability to look at familiar texts in unfamiliar ways,
to re-open old questions, to pose new questions, and to demolish
received truths. He practiced the "hermeneutics of suspicion" to
devastating effect. His answers are not always convincing but his
questions cannot be ignored.
The essays of Volume I center on the Hebrew Bible ("Old
Testament"), Ancient Israel and Ancient Judaism, of Volume II on
the Christian Bible ("New Testament"), Early Christianity and
Ancient Magic. Volume II also contains an assessment of Smith's
scholarly achievement and a complete list of his publications.
