Series: The Biblical Resource Series

Series Editors: Astrid B. Beck, David Noel Freedman

This new series reprints titles that the scholarly community regards as essential resources for the biblical thinker of today, but that have long been difficult to obtain. Chosen in consultation with an editorial board of eminent biblical scholars — Astrid B. Beck, David Noel Freedman, Harold W. Attridge, Adela Yarbro Collins, John Huehnergard, Peter Machinist, John P. Meier, Shalom M. Paul, Stanley E. Porter, and James C. VanderKam — each volume features an introduction that outlines the importance of the work and summarizes its subsequent influences.
