URUK

THE FIRST CITY

BibleWorld

Series Editor: Philip R. Davies, University of Shefeld

BibleWorld shares the fruits of modern (and postmodern) biblical scholarship not

only among practitioners and students, but also with anyone interested in what

academic study of the Bible means in the twenty-rst century. It explores our

ever-increasing knowledge and understanding of the social world that produced

the biblical texts, but also analyses aspects of the Bible’s role in the history of our

civilization and the many perspectives – not just religious and theological, but

also cultural, political and aesthetic – which drive modern biblical scholarship.
