Book Description

Excerpt from Studies in Biblical Archaeology During the short existence of the drcboeological Review, the sole English Journal which has paid particular attention to the history of early institutions as part of Archaeology, I contributed a number of essays dealing with various aspects of Biblical Archmology from that point of view. These attracted some attention at the time of their appearance, and I have been frequently asked since to make them more accessible to the student of the Old Testament and of institutional Archaeology in general. I have accordingly collected them together mainly in the form in which they originally appeared; only in a few cases have I added in square brackets, references relating to subsequent publications, while I have attempted in the Introduction to bring the whole of my researches, so far as possible, up to date. I have added at the end of the volume my review of the Revised Version of the Old Testament which originally appeared in the dtbeneum, as, by a curious chance, this happened to be the earliest criticism of that im portant publication which appeared.
