Summary:

"This collected volume is the result of international cooperation between researchers who, coming from different academic disciplines and having different viewpoints, have concentrated on a single common theme, the kingdom of Judah the seventh century BCE, in the last full century of its existence. Eleven essays develop the current ongoing discussion about Judah during this period and extend the debate to include further important insights in the fields of archaeology, history, cult, and the interpretation of Old Testament texts"-- $c Provided by publisher
