How the Bible Became a Book

[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][vc_single_image image=”72849″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://netforumpro.com/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?Site=Âé¶¹Ö±²¥&WebCode=EventDetail&evt_key=bf75b7fa-2e15-4750-9139-bbbbfcaf9f34″][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][vc_wp_text]Friends of Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ presents the next webinar in our monthly series on March 21, at 7:30 pm EDT, featuring Prof. William Schniedewind. An expert in ancient biblical interpretation, the social history of the ancient eastern Mediterranean world, and sociolinguistics of Classical Hebrew, Dr. Schniedewind will address some fundamental questions: How did the Bible become a book? And why did these texts become scripture? This lecture explores answers about the origins of the biblical literary traditions from an anthropological perspective beginning with the epigraphic and archaeological evidence. Early Israel was originally a pastoral and agrarian society, yet it created an extensive literary tradition. Seminal social and political changes in Jerusalem began in the late eighth century and resulted in an expanded role for writing and the beginnings of biblical literature. But archaeological and epigraphic evidence for Hebrew writing ends with the Babylonian exile and does not reemerge until the late Persian period. Join us for this master class on how to examine the Bible based on its linguistic structure and historical background. Prof. Schniedewind will conclude his webinar with a live Q&A session.

William Schniedewind is a Professor of Biblical Studies at . He has been the Chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at UCLA and held the Kershaw Endowed Chair of Ancient Eastern Mediterranean Studies. He received a B.A. in Religion from George Fox University (1984), a M.A. in Historical Geography from Jerusalem University College, and a Ph.D. in Bible and Ancient Near East from Brandeis University (1992). He has been a Visiting Scholar at the Hebrew University and a Research Fellow at the Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem. He is the author of six books including How the Bible Became a Book: the Textualization of Ancient Israel (Cambridge University Press, 2004), A Social History of Hebrew: its Origins Through the Rabbinic Period (Yale University Press, 2013), and The Finger of the Scribe: How Scribes Learned to Write the Bible (Oxford University Press, 2019).
