Overview

This volume is a scholarly tribute to Bustenay Oded's distinguished career from some of the many contemporaries, colleagues, and former students who not only admire, and keep being inspired by his achievements, but who also count him as a friend. The title points to the remarkable span of Bustenay Oded 's research and research interests. Accordingly, the Festschrift's thirty original contributions deal with a wide range of topics, focusing on the Assyrian Empire, as well as on the Hebrew Bible and other cultural contents.

Reviews

This Festschrift, dedicated to Bustenay Oded, Professor Emeritus at the University of Haifa, contains 30 relatively short articles written by established scholars from all around the world. It is an excellent, although somewhat eclectic, collection of new studies on the Hebrew Bible and the ancient Near East that has its given place in any research library.
