About this title

Synopsis

This volume contains the Proceedings of the 18th Joint Meeting of the Society ‎for Old ‎Testament Study (SOTS) and the Oudtestamentisch Werkgezelschap ‎in Nederland en België (OTW) in the summer ‎of 2022 in Nottingham. The ten ‎contributions are prefaced by an editorial Introduction (Hempel, Ausloos) followed by studies on ‎Hebrew Semantics (Raymond de Hoop, Paul Sanders, Ellen van Wolde), the Pentateuch (Gert Kwakkel, Jan-Wim Wesselius‎, Philip Yoo), exilic and post-exilic historiography (Carly Crouch, Michaël van der Meer) and two chapters that draw on Sumerian poetry and gender-based violence ‎in contemporary South Africa, respectively, to illuminate biblical narratives in Judges and 1-2 Samuel (Ekaterina E. Kozlova, Nozipho Princess S. Dlodlo).
