Bloomsbury - The History of Israel's Traditions No. 182

Explore the academic legacy of one of the most influential Old Testament scholars in this volume from The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies. This book centers on the work of Martin Noth, specifically his landmark 1943 monograph, berlieferungsgeschichtliche Studien. In that work, Noth established the hypothesis of a Deuteronomistic History and provided a significant treatment of the Chronicler's History. This collection brings together essays from an international symposium of scholars. These contributors celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Noth's influential volume while reviewing his various contributions to the field of Old Testament study. Part I of the book offers a look at Noth's life and work through the writing of Christopher Begg. This text serves as an essential resource for students and researchers interested in biblical criticism, history, and the academic foundations of Old Testament interpretation.
