The Encyclopedia of Material Culture in the Biblical World (EBW)
builds on the German "Standardwerk" Biblisches Reallexikon (BRL),
edited by Kurt Galling 1937, second edition 1977 (2BRL). It is a
reference book for biblical scholars, historians, and
archaeologists. The EBW focusses on the material culture from the
Neolithic Age to the Hellenistic period, giving attention to the
material from the Bronze and Iron Ages, including the Persian
period. The geographic regions covered by the entries include
primarily the records of Palestine (= the Southern Levant) limited
by (excl.) the southern fringe of Lebanon and Hermon (North), the
Wadi al-Aris, the Sinai peninsula and North-Arabia (South), the
Mediterranean Sea (West) and the Transjordanian desert (East). If
appropriate to the entry, the neighboring evidence from Syria,
Lebanon, Egypt, and Mesopotamia is included. The Encyclopedia
presents and documents the material culture based on the
archaeological, epigraphical, and iconographical data in historical
order and documents the state of current research. The entries do
not only list or mention the most important material data, but try
to synthesize and interpret it within the horizon of a history of
Southern Levantine culture, economy, technical development, art,
and religion. The EBW consists of around 120 articles and an
introductory part pertaining to the chronology of the EBW,
archaeology and cultural History, epigraphy, and iconography,
written by specialists from 15 different countries.
This title provides a comprehensive and profound introduction to
the literature and history of the Old Testament. Beginning with
methods and sources, this Handbook looks at the Biblical text,
archaeology, other texts, and iconography. It explores varying
exegetical methods, including historical criticism, canonical
approach, feminist, social scientific and liberation theology.
Methods in archaeology, Hebrew epigraphic and iconography are also
covered. The second section is devoted to the history and religious
history of Ancient Israel. Introductory matters, such as
fundamental terminology and definitions, ethnic identity, ancestors
and the dead, geography and time reckoning are explicated before
the book moves on to a historical survey from the Iron Age (c. 1200
BCE) to the early Roman period (ending about 63 CE). The heart of
the book is a detailed survey of the Hebrew canonical books,
section by section and book by book. The discussion for each book
includes: biblical presentation and content; problems arising from
the history of literary analysis and research; the origin and
growth of the writing; the theology; and notes on reception
history. This book will provide students with everything they need
to study the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament.
