Reviews
The confidence in the historicity of the Hebrew Bible has collapsed over the last three decades. In this remarkable book, fourthteen writers brilliantly steer the debate away from historical positivism and beyond the deconstruction of the old myth-narratives of the Bible. The collection offers highly original and diverse perspectives on the syncretic traditions of the biblical stories. A work of enormous significance, it shows how new paradigms have come to view key texts of the Hebrew Bible are the product of the Hellenistic era. - Professor Nur Masalha, SOAS, University of London, UK
