The greater Middle East is beset by a crescent of crisis-a region of urgent danger stretching from Pakistan to Afghanistan, through Iran and Iraq, all the way to the Syria/Lebanon question and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The specific problems range from terrorism and nuclear proliferation to the rise of fundamentalism and a lack of democracy. These crises pose perhaps the most pressing security challenges to Europe and the United States today. Unfortunately, the U.S. and its allies across the Atlantic generally have approached them in separate ways, often resulting in tense transatInternational relationsMiddle EastForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsMiddle EastMiddle EastForeign relationsEuropeEuropeForeign relationsMiddle EastElectronic books.International relations.327.560182/1Daalder Ivo H623179Gnesotto Nicole249954Gordon Philip H.1962-865800MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457889603321Crescent of crisis1932218UNINA03162nam 2200673Ia 450 991082444200332120240430201257.01-281-80360-X97866118036050-567-50623-1(CKB)1000000000553396(EBL)436252(OCoLC)277230967(SSID)ssj0000186385(PQKBManifestationID)12039165(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000186385(PQKBWorkID)10252614(PQKB)10278461(MiAaPQ)EBC436252(Au-PeEL)EBL436252(CaPaEBR)ebr10250611(CaONFJC)MIL180360(OCoLC)893334033(EXLCZ)99100000000055339619931020d1992 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrJudahite burial practices and beliefs about the dead /Elizabeth Bloch-Smith1st ed.Sheffield, England JSOT Pressc19921 online resource (321 p.)Journal for the study of the Old Testament.

Over 850 burials from throughout the southern Levant are examined to illustrate the Judahite form of burial and its development. Vessels for foods and liquids were of paramount importance in the afterlife, followed by jewellery with its protective powers. The cult of the dead began to be an unacceptable feature of the Jerusalem Yahwistic cult in the late eighth to seventh century BCJournal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;123.JSOT/ASOR monograph series ;no. 7.BurialPalestineDeadReligious aspectsJudaismTombsPalestinePalestineAntiquitiesBurialDeadReligious aspectsJudaism.Tombs393.10933Bloch-Smith Elizabeth1952-1674793MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824442003321Judahite burial practices and beliefs about the dead4039802UNINA
