Review of Biblical Literature, 2017

This collection of essays commemorates the career contributions of Peter W. Flint (1951-2016). Featuring twenty-seven new contributions from an international group of scholars specializing in various disciplines of biblical studies--Dead Sea Scrolls, Septuagint, Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Second Temple Judaism, and Christian Origins--the volume interacts with and gives fresh insight into the fields shaped and impacted by Professor Flint's life work. Essays in part one explore the interplay between text-critical methods, the growth and formation of the Hebrew Scriptures, and the making of modern critical editions. Part two maps some dynamics of scriptural interpretation and reception in ancient Jewish and Christian literatures of the Second Temple period.
