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.

 The papers collected in this volume focus on methodological and historical

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.
