It is one of the great wellsprings of Western religious, ethical, and philosophical traditions. It has been an endless source of inspiration in the arts, from classic works such as Michelangelo's Last Judgment, Handel's Messiah, and Milton's Paradise Lost, to such modem works as Thomas Mann's Joseph and His Brothers and Nikos Kazantzakis's Last Temptation of Christ. For countless generations it has been a comfort in suffering, a place to reflect on the mysteries of birth, death, and immortality. Its stories and characters are an integral part of the repertoire of every educated adult, forming an enduring bond that spans thousands of years and embraces a vast community of believers and nonbelievers. The Oxford Companion to the Bible provides an authoritative one-volume reference to the people, places, events, books, institutions, religious beliefs, and secular influence of the Bible. Written by more than 250 scholars from some twenty countries in five continents and embracing a wide variety of perspectives, the Companion offers over seven hundred entries. Ranging far beyond the scope of a traditional Bible dictionary, the Companion features an abundance of interpretive essays. Here are extended entries on religious concepts ranging from immortality, sin, and grace, to baptism, ethics, and the Holy Spirit. The contributors also explore biblical views on modem issues such as homosexuality, marriage, and anti-Semitism, and the influence of the Bible on Western civilization, including major articles on the Bible's influence on literature, music, and law. Of course, the Companion can also serve as a handy reference, the first place to turn to find factual information on the Bible. Readers will find fascinating, informative articles on all the books of the Bible including the Apocryphaand on many other ancient texts, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Pseudepigrapha, and the Mish- nah. Virtually every major figure who walked across the biblical stage is identified here, from Rebekah, Rachel, and Mary to Joseph, Barabbas, and Jesus. The Companion also offers entries that shed light on daily life in ancient Israel and the earliest Christian communities, with fascinating articles on feasts and festivals, clothing, medicine, units of time, houses and furniture. In addition, the Companion has a detailed index to facilitate its use, and twenty-eight pages of full-color maps, providing an accurate, detailed portrait of the biblical world. A vast compendium of information related to the scriptures, here is an ideal complement to the Bible, an essential volume for every home and library, the first place to turn for information on the central book of Western culture.
