Bøker utgitt av Society of Biblical Literature

Biography and autobiography was a comparatively rare genre in Ramessid Egypt (ca.1290-1075 B.C.E.), used, when it was, to record the deeds or character of the deceased for judgement in the afterlife. This book translates 65 inscriptions, mostly from tombs, describing priests, civil officials, artists and military men.

One of six titles in The Bible in American Culture series published to celebrate the Society of Biblical Literature's centennial, this volume focuses on the interplay between the Bible and education. Essays focus on how this relationship shifted over time from the Bible's central role in education during the seventeenth century through its decline in the twentieth century. With the debate about the role of the Bible in education arising anew in states around the country, this book lays contextual groundwork for anyone interested in the shape of public and private education in the twenty-first century.
