This Festschrift assembles 32 contributions devoted to K. Lawson Younger, Jr. by his colleagues and students from North America, Israel and Europe. In accordance with significant topics of his own scholarly oeuvre the articles focus on Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern studies. Among many other topics the relations of “Deuteronomy 13 and the Succession Treaty of Esarhaddon” are explored as well as “Rituals in the Gideon Narrative (Judges 6-8)”, “Deities in the Ammonite Personal Names” and “the textual evidence for “The ‘Priests’ of Ugarit”. Archaeological contributions focus on-to list just a few-“The Carmel in the Bronze and Iron Ages”, “Deer Antlers in Iron Age I Cultic Contexts at Tel Abel Beth Maacah” and the “Archaeological Evidence of Priests and Priesthood in Iron Age Israel and Judah”. Linguistic and cultural studies evaluate recent studies of Amorite and examine “East as Symbolic Space” and raise the question of “Aramaean Identity” in Iron Age Syria.
