The main aim of the session is to foster critical uses of social anthropology for reading biblical scholarship and ancient Near Eastern studies related to the Bible. The papers of this volume reflect all these perspectives and stand as a critical renewal of the uses of anthropology and sociology in biblical scholarship in distinction to social-science approaches UR - https://doi.org/10.31826/9781463221287 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781463221287 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781463221287/original ER -
