Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Backfish and Shafer-Elliott bring their respective expertise in biblical theology and archaeology, complemented by years of classroom teaching experience, to this one-of-a-kind resource that, quite literally, ‘grounds’ theological inquiry in the Hebrew Bible. Cautioning against typical approaches that impose modern strictures on ancient texts, Backfish and Shafer-Elliott astutely derive their thematic categories from the cultural contexts of ancient Israel gleaned from archaeology and comparative explorations of ancient Near Eastern texts to engage relevant but oft-neglected topics including ancient conceptions of households, kingship, food, and hospitality, among others, in this eminently readable introduction that will serve students for years to come.”
