| Résumé : |
“Frustrated over the lack of comparative bibliographic resources at his disposal in graduate school, [Sparks] bas ventured to write a massive introduction to and overview of the Hebrew Bible in its ancient Near Eastern literary context. One is immediately struck with Sparks’s extensive background in ancient Near Eastern civilizations, which makes him well suited to write a book such as this. ... Sparks is to be congratulated for compiling such a useful reference tool; it will be of great use to biblical and ancient Near Eastern scholars alike.” — Catholic Biblical Quarterly
“This book is essential for everyone dealing with the Hebrew Bible in its ancient context.... It is a thorough introduction to the variety of genres in ancient Near Eastern literature and their relevance for the Hebrew Bible. The chapters can be consulted individually for an orientation to specific literary forms, for exemplars from specific locations, or for individual texts, as well as for contemporary scholar-ship on any aspect of the preceding. In short, ail future comparative scholarship will take this book as its starting point.” — John L. McLaughlin, Review of Biblical Literature |
