A tribute to Dr George M Landes on the occasion of his retirement as professor of Hebrew Bible Studies at Union Seminary and as Secretary of the American Schools of Oriental Research. Contributions aim to address the role of philology and archaeology in biblical studies, and include: Ruth Revisited (Edward F Campbell, Jr); Holy War Ideology and the Rapid Shift of Mood in Psalm 3 (Ee Kon Kim); No Small Thing: The “Overturning” of Nineveh in the Third Chapter of Jonah (Johanna W H van Wijk-Bos) and The Problem of Human Sacrifice in War: An Analysis of Judges 11 (Naomi Steinberg).
Stephen L. Cook serves as the Catherine N. McBurney Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature at Virginia Theological Seminary, the largest of the accredited seminaries of the Episcopal Church. He and his wife Catherine live amid the seminary community on its campus in Alexandria, Virginia with their daughter. Cook is the author or editor of several books on scripture, including the New Oxford Annotated Bible and the Harper Collins Study Bible, for which he wrote the introductions and notes. S.C. Winter is a part-time associate professor at the New School, where she teaches courses on myth and religion in films, the Hebrew Bible in context, and gender and ritual in the ancient world. Her interests include documentary and narrative filmmaking and religions and history of the ancient Mediterranean world.
