World of Ancient Israel, The

---

Outline: This volume brings together work by scholars of international repute in order to explore fundamental questions about the kind of society we see reflected in the Bible. By adopting a cross-disciplinary approach, the various contributors recognise the valuable insights that can be gained when the social sciences are allowed to cross-fertilise with theology. Students of ancient Judaism and the Old Testament will find the range of topics converted here invaluable, and will appreciate the authoritative treatment which they are given. Three introductory essays - on the historical and cultural, anthropological, and sociological background of ancient Israel - set the scene for what follows; and successive essays guide the reader through such important topics as prophecy, law, the cult, kingship, the covenant, and the concept of holy war. The resulting survey constitutes an ideal introduction to the complex, but perennially fascinating, character of the Old Testament world, which will be required reading for all those who want to gain fresh insights into ancient Israelite society.
