A much needed volume
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This volume is a much needed volume in the social scientific study of the Old Testament. The central, unifying theme in this volume is the use of anthropological, social-psychological, and macro-sociological models and their heuristic use in terms of interpreting Hebrew Bible texts. Having read many socio-historical texts on ancient Israel, few actually utilize anthropology and the other social sciences in a way that social scientists actually would. This volume does just that... Explaining a model and then utilizing that model to see if it is a heuristic tool that works and proves that this method is helpful in Hebrew Bible interpretation.
