{"product_id":"history-and-the-hebrew-bible-ian-wilson-9789004388789","title":"History and the Hebrew Bible: Culture, Narrative, and Memory","description":"This essay offers an introduction to select disciplinary developments in the study of history and in historical study of the Hebrew Bible. It focuses first and foremost on \"cultural history,\" a broad category defined by nineteenth- and twentieth-century developments in anthropology and sociology, literary theory and linguistics, and other fields of study. The first part of the essay comments on developments since the so-called \"linguistic turn,\" highlighting some key works on culture, narrative, and memory, in order to establish a contemporary historical approach to biblical studies. It then turns to questions of the Hebrew Bible's usefulness for historical study, and highlights studies of King David and the Davidic polity in ancient Israel\/Judah, to show how scholars of the Bible have done historical work in recent years. And finally, it provides a case study of the book of Joshua, demonstrating how historians can utilize biblical texts as sources for cultural history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004388788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004388789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.20d","brand":"Ian Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437392212223,"sku":"9789004388789","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44305b31-1a6a-44dd-b37f-78973dd329c3.jpg?v=1777161506","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/history-and-the-hebrew-bible-ian-wilson-9789004388789","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
