Description
Identifying Biblical Persons in Northwest Semitic Inscriptions of 1200-539 B.C.E., by Lawrence J. Mykytiuk. SBL Academia Biblica 12. Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature; Leiden: Brill, 2004. Pp. xix + 327. $150.00/$42.95. ISBN 9004127240/1589830628. Lawrence Mykytiuk's new monograph will provide much relief for all those who are interested in questions of biblical historicity but who are critical of "maximalist" or "minimalist" prejudices concerning the historicity of the biblical accounts. The main body of the book comprises five chapters and is a slightly revised version of Mykytiuk's 1998 dissertation. It claims to include all Hebrew inscriptions from the pre-Persian era that turned up before October 1997 and in which names occur that can possibly be identified with persons named in the Hebrew Bible. It also discusses the Aramaic text on the Tel Dan stela and the Moabite Mesha Inscription. Other Northwest Semitic inscriptions as well as the Hebrew inscriptions that were published between October 1997 and July 2002 are listed and briefly discussed in the appendices. The inscriptions include some longer texts on ancient monuments as well as very short texts on personal seals or impressions from personal seals on jar handles and bullae.
