Ancient Israel
Contributors: P. Kyle McCarter, Jr., Nahum M. Sarna, Joseph A. Callaway, Andre Lemaire, Siegfried H. Horn, James D. Purvis, Lee I. Levine, J.D. Cohen

Since its publication in 1988, this work has established itself as the leading history of ancient Israel. This new edition of Ancient Israel is a major advance in a text that was already excellent. It is undeniable that the scholarship of this resource is first-rate. Each chapter has been written by a world-famous scholar treating his specialty.

Aspects of Monotheism
Contributors: Donald B. Redford, William G. Dever, P. Kyle McCarter, Jr., John J. Collins

"This is the most exciting, provocative and readily understandable discussion of monotheism in its various aspects that I have seen. Stemming from a symposium at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., organized by the Biblical Archaeology Society, Aspects of Monotheism: How God Is One presents the rich and variegated views of four distinguished scholars on different facets of what is a rich and variegated concept—the idea of one universal God." - From the Editor's Introduction

Feminist Approaches to the Bible
Contributors: Phyllis Trible, Tikva Frymer-Kensky, Pamela J. Milne, Jane Schaberg

This groundbreaking resource was created to address several tough questions about the nature of the Bible. How does a feminist look for meaning in a biblical text that is essentially patriarchal? In what special ways is the Bible a spiritual resource for women? What effect does a feminist perspective have on biblical interpretation? It is the sincere hope of the editor and contributors that Feminist Approaches to the Bible will increase appreciation of the Bible by uncovering a commonly bypassed layer of the text.

The Search for Jesus: Modern Scholarship Looks at the Gospels
Contributors: Stephen J. Patterson, Marcus J. Borg, John Dominic Crossan

In this unique resource three experts lead the reader through the thickets of ancient texts, theology, archaeology, a little anthropology, the Nag Hammadi Codices and even the Dead Sea Scrolls. All of this material is consulted to gain perspective on the historical Jesus. For many people, this type of study of the New Testament deepens and enriches faith. Many even find it necessary because it reveals, in a new way, the human side of Jesus, which has been part of the faith of the Christian community since the very beginning.

The Rise of Ancient Israel
Contributors: William G. Dever, Baruch Halpern, P. Kyle McCarter, Jr.

Where did the people who became the nation of Israel come from? And when? By what process did they become a nation? What were their religious roots? How did they find their God Yahweh? Scores of scholars are struggling with these issues. Some of the disagreements are intense. The authors that have been assembled for this work are among the leaders in the debate. These contributors not only look at the biblical account of Israel's ascendancy but they also factor in various archaeological studies to support their positions.
