On dating biblical texts to the Persian period

Enlarge text Shrink text
  • Book

"Earlier generations of scholars found it sufficient to categorize material in the biblical books simply as late or postexilic without adequately trying to determine when, by whom, and why the material was incorporated into the text at a fixed point in the Persian period. By grappling with these questions, the essays in this volume evince a greater degree of precision vis-à-vis dating and historical context. The authors introduce the designations early Persian, middle Persian, and late Persian in their textual analysis, and collectively they take significant steps toward developing criteria for locating a biblical text within the Persian period"--back cover.
