| Summary: | The present book is volume one of an ambitious and prestigious new project. During the production and publication of the 36 volume Theologische Realenzyklopädie (G. Müller et al. eds.; Berlin, New York: W. de Gruyter, 1976-2007), the need for a new biblical encyclopedia emerged clearly. However, it also became clear that such a project would have to be different from the single or multiple bible dictionaries of the past in order to serve the present and the future : "... an encyclopedia documenting not only the origins and development but also the vast influence and broad reception of the Jewish and Christian Bibles, including all their figures, themes, and motifs, would be an innovative and groundbreaking contribution to biblical scholarship" (vii). After a decade of careful planning, the result of this insight and process is the Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception (EBR). |
