AB "An informed reading of the Bible recognizes historical distance and seeks to understand the biblical text in its historical and literary contexts. One way to reconstruct (at least partially) those contexts is to compare the biblical text with other written materials coming from generally the same time period ... This source book intends to assist undergraduate students (and the interested reader) in a comparative reading of the Bible that emphasizes its historical and literary analogs"--Preface
