Between Israelite religion and Old Testament theology : essays on archaeology, history, and hermeneutics / Robert D. Miller II (ed.).

• Re-figuring Judean "Fertility" figurines: fetishistic functions of the feminine form -- The power of praise in the Psalter. Human-divine synergies in the ancient Near East and the Hebrew Scriptures -- "Held in slavery by the fear of death". Ancient hero cults and the Old Testament gospel -- Iron Age medicine men and the Old Testament theology -- What would (or should) Old Testament theology look like if recent reconstructions of Israelite religion were true?. 

• Although 'Theologies of the Old Testament' continue to proliferate, most of these do not interact with the many recent studies of Israelite religion that have appeared. Drawing on archaeology and other ancient Near Eastern material, these studies present a reconstruction of religious life in ancient Israel that ought to be of some importance for the theological interpretation of the biblical text. This collection of essays integrates reconstructions of ancient Israelite religious practice into theologically-oriented interpretation of the Old Testament. In essays ranging from discussion of Sumerian hymns to early Iron Age incense burners, respected biblical scholars and archaeologists provide new insights into the biblical theology of the Christian Bible. - back of book.
