In this guest-edited issue of Biblical Reception, edited by Diane
Apostolos-Cappadona, contributors examine the reception of the
bible in art. Most of the contributions focus on biblical women, or
on encounters with women in the bible. The volume is roughly
chronological in structure, beginning with two pieces on Eve, one
of which compares representations of Eve with those of the Virgin
Mary, the other which considers how Eve is presented in Islamic
texts and images. Following a contribution on Esther and Sarah the
volume moves on to consider New Testament texts, with notable focus
on women at the peripheries of society (the woman with the
hemorrhage in Mark's gospel and the woman of Samaria). Attention is
also paid to representations of Mary Magdalene and of Judith and
Salome. The volume concludes with a piece on apocalyptic imagery
and the woman clothed with the sun of Revelation 12. Featuring over
50 high quality color images, this volume provides scholarship of
the highest level on biblical art.

In this gripping sequel to his bestselling 1177 B.C., Eric Cline
tells the story of what happened after the Bronze Age
collapsed—why some civilizations endured, why some gave way to
new ones, and why some disappeared forever At the end of the
acclaimed history 1177 B.C., many of the Late Bronze Age
civilizations of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean lay in ruins,
undone by invasion, revolt, natural disasters, famine, and the
demise of international trade. An interconnected world that had
boasted major empires and societies, relative peace, robust
commerce, and monumental architecture was lost and the so-called
First Dark Age had begun. Now, in After 1177 B.C., Eric Cline tells
the compelling story of what happened next, over four centuries,
across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean world. It is a story of
resilience, transformation, and success, as well as failures, in an
age of chaos and reconfiguration. After 1177 B.C. tells how the
collapse of powerful Late Bronze Age civilizations created new
circumstances to which people and societies had to adapt. Those
that failed to adjust disappeared from the world stage, while
others transformed themselves, resulting in a new world order that
included Phoenicians, Philistines, Israelites, Neo-Hittites,
Neo-Assyrians, and Neo-Babylonians. Taking the story up to the
resurgence of Greece marked by the first Olympic Games in 776 B.C.,
the book also describes how world-changing innovations such as the
use of iron and the alphabet emerged amid the chaos. Filled with
lessons for today about why some societies survive massive shocks
while others do not, After 1177 B.C. reveals why this period, far
from being the First Dark Age, was a new age with new inventions
and new opportunities.

A bold reassessment of what caused the Late Bronze Age collapse In
1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded
Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy managed to defeat them, but the
victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did
most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of
brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt
and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of
just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans,
Hittites, or Babylonians. The thriving economy and cultures of the
late second millennium B.C., which had stretched from Greece to
Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, along with writing
systems, technology, and monumental architecture. But the Sea
Peoples alone could not have caused such widespread breakdown. How
did it happen? In this major new account of the causes of this
"First Dark Ages," Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the
end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging
from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, and the cutting
of international trade routes. Bringing to life the vibrant
multicultural world of these great civilizations, he draws a
sweeping panorama of the empires and globalized peoples of the Late
Bronze Age and shows that it was their very interdependence that
hastened their dramatic collapse and ushered in a dark age that
lasted centuries. A compelling combination of narrative and the
latest scholarship, 1177 B.C. sheds new light on the complex ties
that gave rise to, and ultimately destroyed, the flourishing
civilizations of the Late Bronze Age-and that set the stage for the
emergence of classical Greece.
