In recent years the critical approach to biblical ‘Ancient Israel’ and to the
Bible as ancient text has undergone considerable change. This collection
of essays, inspired by the work of Professor Giovanni Garbini, showcases
scholarship which characterizes the new approach.

topics related to the study of the history of ancient Israel. They represent
biblical and historical studies, or present the joining of the two fields together,
with the aim of shedding new light on biblical material.
The contributions, by leading scholars in the field of Biblical studies, offer
new readings of disputed texts, new methodological tools for study of
the ancient world inhabited by an entity called ‘Israel’, and a variety of
reinterpretations of biblical texts.
