Description - Language, Theology, and the Bible by Samuel E. Balentine
James Barr is a Professor of the Hebrew Bible at Vanderbilt University, and was formerly Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford. This is a collection of essays in honour of his seventieth birthday by twenty-four leading figures in biblical studies and theology in Britain, North America and Europe. Barr's own work covers an enormous range, from highly detailed linguistic and textual study of the biblical languages and ancient versions, to broad issues in the
interpretation of the Bible and its place in theology. The essays assembled here mirror the range of these interests, with essays on textual criticism, linguistics, biblical translation, theological themes in
the Bible, and the history of biblical scholarship. There is also an evaluation of Barr's work by the editors.Contributors: Samuel Balentine, John Barton, Bertil Albrektson, Emanuel Tov, Jeremy Hughes, Robert Hanhart, Edward Ullendorff, Ernest Nicholson, Douglas Knight, John Emerton, Lothar Perlitt, Joseph Blenkinsopp, P.
