Excavations in the City of David, Jerusalem (1995–2010)

$149.95 $89.97

“To put things simply, there is no way to decipher the history of Ancient Israel without the archaeology of Jerusalem, with no access to the Temple Mount, there is no way to understand the archaeology and history of Jerusalem without the City of David ridge, and there is no way to study the City of David without the results of the Reich/Shukron excavations. This volume is therefore a landmark in the archaeology of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.”—Israel Finkelstein, Professor Emeritus, Tel Aviv University

Text and Ritual in the Pentateuch

A Systematic and Comparative Approach

$129.95 $77.97

“The contributions to Text and Ritual in the Pentateuch contrast the relationship between text and ritual in ancient Israel with that of other ancient Mediterranean and Western Asian societies and thus gain new insights for the challenge of reconstructing the performance of ancient rituals from written sources.”—Thomas Hieke, author of Die Genealogien der Genesis

Aspect, Communicative Appeal, and Temporal Meaning in Biblical Hebrew Verbal Forms

$94.95 $56.97

“Aspect, Communicative Appeal, and Temporal Meaning in Biblical Hebrew Verbal Forms is an ambitious, sophisticated, and technical treatment of a set of recalcitrant problems. The Biblical Hebrew verbal system and how it relates to tense, aspect, and mood has been the object of many studies over hundreds of years, and we are still just in the process of understanding it. This study offers an interesting, overarching solution.”—Martin Gustaf Ehrensv&aamp;rd, University of Copenhagen

The Imperial Mission

Mario Liverani

New in paperback!

This book outlines the basic features of Assyrian imperialism within the framework of the general development of the imperial idea, all the while insisting on noting comparative material.

Christian Intellectuals and the Roman Empire

From Justin Martyr to Origen

Village Infernos and Witches’ Advocates

Witch-Hunting in Navarre, 1608–1614

Lu Ann Homza

“Village Infernos and Witches’ Advocates employs a wide range of sources to provide a multi-angled view of the hunt as it developed. It also takes into account important developments in the field of history, principally in terms of social history and history-from-below, allowing for a startling and much-needed degree of revisionism. Its interpretation is new and greatly welcome. It will be a very important and widely cited book.”—Michael D. Bailey, author of Origins of the Witches’ Sabbath
