Scribal Culture and the Making of the Hebrew Bible

Scribal Culture and the Making of the Hebrew Bible

by Karel van der Toorn (Author)

Synopsis

We think of the "Hebrew Bible" as the Book - and yet it was produced by a largely nonliterate culture in which writing, editing, copying, interpretation, and public reading were the work of a professional elite. This work offers an introduction to the scribes of ancient Israel - the main figures behind the "Hebrew Bible".
