RT Review T1 The Historian and the Bible: Essays in Honour of Lester L. Grabbe. Edited by Philip R. Davies and Diana V. Edelman JF The journal of theological studies VO 62 IS 2 SP 649 OP 651 A1 Crouch, Carly L. 1982- LA English PB Oxford University Press YR 2011 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1783729066 AB The contributors’ list of this Festschrift reads like a veritable Who’s Who of the scholars devoted over the last two to three decades to the debates on Israel’s (non-)history, attesting both to the extent of Grabbe’s own contributions in this field and the esteem in which his contributions are held by his colleagues. The perspectives of the contributors cover the full range of critical conclusions regarding the history, historicity, and historiography of the biblical texts and their world. Unsurprisingly, the majority of the contributions concern the history and literature of the Persian and subsequent periods, but a few concern pre-Exilic matters. K1 Rezension DO 10.1093/jts/flr065
