Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: VG. Dust jacket condition: VG. Signed by the author at the title page. In his thirty years at the New York School of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Dr. Harry M. Orlinsky, Effle Wise Ochs Professor of Bible, has made his name synonymous with modern Biblical scholarship. As Editor-in-Chief of the Jewish Publication Society's new translation of The Torah, as a member of the Committee that produced the Revised Standard Version of the Old Testament, as founder and President of both the International Organization for Septuagint and Cognate Studies and the International Organization for Masoretic Studies, as a Past President of the Society of Biblical Literature, as Editor of the ongoing Library of Biblical Studies, and as a teacher, essayist, and scholar, Dr. Orlinsky has made a contribution of insight and clarity in a field which is too often characterized by obscurantism and lack of real scholarshin. The present collection of Dr. Orlinsky s more popular essays provides a fine sampling of his wide range of interest in the vast area of Jewish creativity. The volume is divided conveniently into three major sections: "Essays in Biblical Culture," "Essays in Jewish Culture," and "Essays in Bible Translation." Here will be found, for example, Dr. Orlinsky's systematic analysis of "Nation-alism-Universalism and Internationalism in; Ancient Israel" and "Nationalism-Universalism in the Book of Jeremiah," his illuminating characterization of Moses as one of the truly great Jewish personalities, his now almost classic little essay on "The Story of Hannukah-What Really Happened?," and his thought-provoking study for the Ben-Gurion Jubilee Volume, "Who is the Ideal Jew: the Biblical View." The essays on "The Seer-Priest in Ancient Israel" and "The Tribal System of Israel and Related Groups in the Period of the Judges" are representative of Dr. Orlinsky's methodology in studying the social institutions of Biblical Israel. 462 pages.…
