Summary:

"This volume presents an important insight into the history of the scholarship on the Old Testament over the last 100 years. Presented in collaboration with the Society for Old Testament Study, which celebrates its Centenary in 2017, the volume examines the shifting patterns in scholarship on the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible over the last century, from the types of subject studied to the demographic make-up of the scholars working in this field of study. The essays have been written by several long-serving Officers of the Society. As such the volume presents an informative history of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible scholarship." -- Back cover
