The Cambridge Companion to the Bible, 2nd edition provides in-depth
data and analysis of the production and reception of the canonical
writings of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, and also of the
apocryphal works produced by Jewish and Christian writers. Unique
among single-volume introductions, this book focuses on the
ever-changing social and cultural contexts in which the biblical
authors and their original readers lived. The authors of the first
edition were chosen for their internationally recognized expertise
in their respective fields: the history and literature of Israel;
postbiblical Judaism; biblical archaeology; and the origins and
early literature of Christianity. In this second edition, all
chapters have been updated and thoroughly revised,under the
direction of a new volume editor, Bruce D. Chilton. More than 22
new maps, 90 new photographs and a full-color section help
illustrate the book.
The new edition of The SAGE Handbook of E-Learning Research retains
the original effort of the first edition by focusing on research
while capturing the leading edge of e-learning development and
practice. Chapters focus on areas of development in e-learning
technology, theory, practice, pedagogy and method of analysis.
Covering the full extent of e-learning can be a challenge as
developments and new features appear daily. The editors of this
book meet this challenge by including contributions from leading
researchers in areas that have gained a sufficient critical mass to
provide reliable results and practices. The 25 chapters are
organised into six key areas: 1. THEORY 2. LITERACY & LEARNING
3. METHODS & PERSPECTIVES 4. PEDAGOGY & PRACTICE 5. BEYOND
THE CLASSROOM 6. FUTURES

Sepphoris, “the ornament of all Galilee” according to Josephus,
was an important Galilean site during the Hellenistic, Roman, and
Byzantine periods and into early Islamic times. It served as Herod
Antipas’s capital of Galilee in the late first century B.C.E. and
the early first century C.E., and the Sanhedrin (the supreme Jewish
judicial authority) was located there for a time in the third
century C.E. Extensive excavations on the western
acropolis—probably the location of many of the Jewish occupants
of this multicultural city—by the Duke University-Hebrew
University project in the mid- to late 1980s and the Duke
excavations of the 1990s produced a remarkable assemblage of
ceramic wares. This book provides an overview of the history and
chronology of the site. It then presents a detailed examination of
the pottery. Featuring 55 plates with line-drawings as well as some
photos of the various ceramic types, this important publication
will be essential for all studies of the archaeology of early
Judaism and Christianity in the Holy Land.
During 1977 and 1978 the Meiron Excavation Project moved north from
its excavations at Khirbet Shema and Meiron, excavating at the site
of the synagogue at Gush Halav. With only very limited areas
available for excavation, the team nevertheless was able to extract
significant information for the history of Galilean synagogues. The
synagogue here had a unique form, with spatial elements that have
few if any parallels elsewhere. This publication will thus be of
great importance for the history of Galilee in the first millennium
C.E. and for the development of synagogue architecture and its
relationship to the culture of the region in general.
From the 700s B.C.E. to the late 300s B.C.E., Aramaic was the
international language of the ancient Near East. With the arrival
of Alexander the Great in the 300s, Greek supplanted Aramaic, but
Aramaic did not disappear. Although it gradually broke apart into
dialects, in many regions of the former Persian Empire, Aramaic
became the lingua franca of peoples in the regions of Palestine,
Syria, and Mesopotamia. As a result, a wealth of important works
were written in Aramaic and have survived, from apocryphal and
rabbinic texts to numerous translations of Scripture (targumim) and
liturgical texts, as well as legal documents, letters, and
inscriptions. In the decades following the destruction of Jerusalem
and its Temple in 70 C.E. and the failure of the Bar Kokhba Revolt
in 135, large numbers of Jews migrated from Palestine to Babylonia.
One of the three dialects of Aramaic used in Babylonia eventually
formed the linguistic basis for the Babylonian Talmud, along with
Hebrew. In Syria and northern Mesopotamia, Aramaic also developed
into an important local language called Syriac. As Christianity
began to grow, especially after its legalization under Constantine
in the fourth century, Syriac took on a new role. While most
Christians in the Mediterranean world adopted Latin and/or Greek
for religious purposes, those in Syria used Syriac, and it played a
major role in the formation of Christianity in the lands nearest
its origins during its first millennium. The churches translated
Scripture into Syriac, as well as using the language for
commentaries, sermons, and liturgical works. The essays in this
fine volume came into being during a six-week residential seminar
in the summer of 2004 held at Duke University and directed by the
editors. The seminar focused on Aramaic in postbiblical Judaism and
early Christianity and was sponsored by the National Endowment for
the Humanities. The important essays included here were written as
a result of that seminar. Most were written in residence, and all
were done in discussion with the seminar’s participants and
stellar faculty, which in addition to Eric Meyers and Paul Flesher
included Lucas Van Rompay, Michael Sokoloff, Douglas Gropp, Tina
Shepardson, and Hayim Lapin. The essays are arranged in engaging
three sections: Awakening Sleeping Texts, the Details of Language,
and Recasting: Making Old Texts New.
