It gathers previously unpublished research by senior and mid-career scholars well known for their contributions in the area of social theory and the study of Israelite religion and by junior scholars whose writing is just beginning to have a serious impact on the field. The volume begins with a critical introduction by the editor. Topics of interest to the contributors include gender, violence, social change, the festivals, the dynamics of shame and honor, and the relationship of text to ritual. The contributors engage theory from social and cultural anthropology, sociology, postcolonial studies, and ritual studies. Theoretical models are evaluated in light of the primary data, and some authors modify or adapt theory to increase its utility for biblical studies. The contributors are Susan Ackerman, Stephen L. Cook, Ronald Hendel, T. M. Lemos, Nathaniel B. Levtow, Carol Meyers, Saul M. Olyan, Rudiger Schmitt, Robert R. Wilson, and David P. Wright." 410 0$aResources for biblical study ;$vno. 71. 606 $aJudaism$xHistory$yTo 70 A.D 606 $aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy. 676 $a296.09/01 701 $aOlyan$b Saul M$0930440 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958275903321 996 $aSocial theory and the study of Israelite religion$92092870 997 $aUNINA
