Buy Community Identity in Judean Historiography from Amazon.com

Last year, I was privileged to have Eisenbrauns publish Community Identity in Judean Historiography: Biblical and Comparative Perspective, a collection of essays that I co-edited with my advisor, Gary Knoppers. It was a great pleasure to share editorial responsibilities for this volume. Many of the essays came from papers presented at the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies 2007 Annual Meeting, which was held in Saskatoon, SK. You can still view the Saskatoon Sessions at the Historiography Seminar website. Contributors to the volume include Kenton Sparks, John Van Seters, Gary Knoppers, Louis Jonker, Mark Boda, John Kessler, Mark Leuchter, Katie Stott, Ehud Ben Zvi, James Bowick, and myself. Recently, this volume was reviewed by Rainer Kessler (PDF) for the Review of Biblical Literature. The review was reviewed by John Hobbins.

Buy Exile and Restoration Revisited from Amazon.com

I also had the distinct honor of contributing to a volume published by Continuum and edited by my colleague at Penn State, Deirdre Fulton, along with my advisor, Gary Knoppers, and Lester Grabbe. Exile and Restoration Revisited remembers the enormous contribution of Peter Ackroyd through a collection of articles that clearly stand on the shoulders of this great scholar. My essay entitled, "Rebuilding Jerusalem: Zechariah's Vision within Visions" elucidates and comments on the prophetic-scribal vision of Jerusalem in Zechariah 1-8. One of my dissertation chapters revisits and incorporates aspects of that article, though I take aim at some of my earlier ideas, especially in one scathing footnote! I would like to extend my appreciation to the editors and the publisher for including my article.

In any case, I really enjoyed the experience of editing and publishing. Hopefully, my contributions are well-received.
