The World around the Old Testament: The People and Places of the Ancient Near East

Leading Experts Introduce the People and Contexts of the Old Testament

The contributors offer comprehensive orientations to the main cultures and people groups that surrounded ancient Israel in the wider ancient Near East, including not only Mesopotamia and the northern Levant but also Egypt, Arabia, and Greece. They also explore the contributions of each people group or culture to our understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures.
