Reviews

“[An] exciting collection of essays. . . . It is impossible to do justice to the wealth of insights presented. . . .” —Sandra Jacobs Society for Old Testament Study Booklist (JSOT) “[C]ontrary to Qohelet, there is something new under the sun, and the present volume of essays, edited by Margaretha Folmer, offers much that is novel to the study of the Persian-period Judean community resident on the Nile island of Elephantine.” —Collin Cornell Bibliotheca Orientalis “The essays in this volume are all from scholars with excellent command of their material. There is much to be learned from each one.” —Christine Mitchell Journal of the American Oriental Society
