RT Book T1 Economics and empire in the ancient Near East T2 Guide to the Bible and economics T2 Center and Library for the Bible and Social Justice series A2 Coomber, Matthew J. M. LA English PP Eugene, Oregon PB Cascade Books YR 2023 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1851994572 AB "Over the past few decades biblical economics has developed into an important subfield of biblical studies. Through examining the economic realities that lay behind Hebrew biblical texts and archaeological findings, biblical economics has led to greater understandings of the cultures and experiences of ancient Hebrew communities, the legal and religious texts they produced, and of how those texts may or may not relate to the experiences of communities who continue to receive them, today. Economics and Empire in the Ancient Near East has brought together ten scholars of biblical economics and one economic anthropologist to create a repository of what is understood about the economic realities of Southwest Asia in the late second and first millennia BCE. In addition to furthering the research and teaching interests of biblical scholars, this volume has also been created for the benefit of economic historians, anthropologists, and sociologists." -- NO Includes bibliographical references and indexes CN BS1199.E35 SN 9781532657993 SN 1532657994 SN 9781532657986 K1 Bible : Old Testament : Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 Bible K1 To 70 K1 Economics in the Bible K1 Economics : Religious aspects K1 Jews : History : To 70 A.D K1 Economics - Religious aspects K1 Jews K1 Religion - Economic aspects K1 Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 History K1 Middle East : Religion K1 Middle East
