- Summary:
- Blurring the distinction between philosophy and biblical scholarship, Gericke (humanities, North-West U., South Africa) argues that certain types of the descriptive philosophy of religion are capable of helping clarify meaning in the Hebrew Bible. His topics include a philosophical approach to ancient Israelite religion, descriptive currents in philosophy of religion for Hebrew Bible studies, philosophical criticism as biblical criticism, the concept of generic godhood in the Hebrew Bible, and epistemologies in ancient Israelite religion. The Society of Biblical Literature publishes the paperbound edition; Brill publishes the hardbound. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
