Synopsis Essays on the Patriarchal Narratives by : A. R Millard
Today, there is renewed interest in the history and traditions of the patriarchal period. Recent publications have sought, among other things, to show that the biblical patriarchs were a literary, even fictional, creation of the first millennium BC, produced to provide the nation of Israel, which came into prominence only then, with "founding fathers." Much of this new writing is helpful in distinguishing what are traditional or speculative interpretations from the basic texts of Genesis. Sometimes archaeological evidence has been adducted in support of the historicity of the patriarchs and their cultural background in the second millennium BC which can no longer be sustained. Sometimes, however, the value of such evidence is ignored or belittled. -- from the preface

Synopsis A Biblical History of Israel by : Iain William Provan
In this much-anticipated textbook, three respected biblical scholars have written a history of ancient Israel that takes the biblical text seriously as an historical document. While also considering nonbiblical sources and being attentive to what disciplines like archaeology, anthropology, and sociology suggest about the past, the authors do so within the context and paradigm of the Old Testament canon, which is held as the primary document for reconstructing Israel's history. In Part One, the authors set the volume in context and review past and current scholarly debate about learning Israel's history, negating arguments against using the Bible as the central source. In Part Two, they seek to retell the history itself with an eye to all the factors explored in Part One.

Synopsis The Promises of the Fathers by : Claus Westermann
Hailed upon its publication in English as "the first important form-critical work on the narratives of Genesis since Gunkel" (Journal of Biblical Literature), Claus Westermann's The Promises to the Fathers turns attention to the promise narratives in Genesis to develop a systematic understanding of their nature and significance. In addition to providing a concise history of investigation of the patriarchal promises during the twentieth century, Westermann advances the conversation here in three key ways. In part one, an early study delineates the types of narrative in Genesis by identifying three groups of texts: the Crime/Punishment narratives of Genesis 1-11, the Abrahamic cycle, and the Jacob/Esau cycle. Part two works from this foundation to reinvestigate the promissory motif, which Westermann describes as taking seven distinct forms. In the concluding section he deals with Ugaritic texts that shed new light on these promise narratives in Genesis. Taken together, these essays are "examples of the thoroughness and exegetical insight which have characterized Westermann's work on Genesis" (Catholic Biblical Quarterly) throughout his distinguished career. Presented once again in a single volume, they are sure to endure as a standard reference in the field.

Synopsis Biblical Narratives, Archaeology and Historicity by : Emanuel Pfoh
This volume collects essays from an international body of leading scholars in Old Testament studies, focused upon the key concepts of the question of historicity of biblical stories, the archaeology of Israel/Palestine during the Bronze and Iron Ages, and the nature of biblical narratives and related literature. As a celebration of the extensive body of Thomas L. Thompson's work, these essays enable a threefold perspective on biblical narratives. Beginning with 'method', the contributors discuss archaeology, cultural memory, epistemology, and sociology of knowledge, before moving to 'history, historiography and archaeology' and close analysis of the Qumran Writings, Josephus and biblical rewritings. Finally the argument turn to the narratives themselves, exploring topics including the possibility of invented myth, the genre of Judges and the depiction of Moses in the Qu'ran. Presenting an interdisciplinary analysis of the historical issues concerning ancient Israel/Palestine, this volume creates an updated body of reference to fifty years' worth of scholarship.
