Summary:

This volume, edited by Martti Nissinen and Jutta Jokiranta, presents the work of the Changes in Sacred Texts and Traditions (CSTT) research project.

The book brings together scholars from various fields such as textual studies of the Hebrew and Greek Bibles, archaeology, Assyriology, and history, who explore the changes in biblical and ancient Near Eastern texts and traditions.
