Recenzii

The many areas of discussion and ways in which text, theory, and comparative material are drawn together are testaments to how ritual and the study of biblical texts are mutually illuminating...the authors and editors have provided a welcome, diverse, and insightful contribution to biblical and ritual studies.
This volume offers a wonderful set of essays that further explore ideas of ritual in the HB, across a variety of genres.
