<p>This anthology on Eve brings together an international group of scholars to discuss how this biblical character has been interpreted and commented upon by students of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. In an age wherein the history of women is being reassessed, it is quite natural that western women especially turn their thoughts to one of the paradigmatic female figures in our culture. This broad treatment of Eve covers a wide range of thoughts about her role as mother of our race, victim, stooge, wife, companion, independent thinker, curious life form, and helper . The reader learns of the poetry inspired by her being, music that plays a similar role, and how graphic artists and historians of literature have turned their thought to her place at the very beginning of biblical history. A venerated figure by many modern feminists and a totally denigrated figure by those who blame her for original sin and the like, no reader will leave the pages of this anthology indifferent to the first woman, nor fail to understand her role in three great religious traditions that have come to predominate in the west.</p>

The study of the 'King David Phenomenon' is far from over. When pressed, the careful scholar must admit to how very little we actually know about this statecrafter and venerator of the god YHWH. At present, archaeologists, epigraphers, literary historians, historians of religion, and military historians are engaged in interpretive battles in an attempt to provide a much clearer outline of this person and his life and times than ever heretofore. Professors Caspi and Greene have assembled a number of scholars who focus on studies concerning King David and during their Annual ISBL Seminar have had these scholars share their most recent scholarship. What is contained within the present anthology are the honed and furbished essays invited from the best works presented during the seminar. These in turn have been edited by the editors and sequenced in such a way that the combined information contained in the essays tell a most recent and chronological or thematic story of the David saga. Scholarship has thus been advanced greatly by the efforts of those who contributed to this volume. To those essays, the editors added a Prolegomenon which framed the entire work, as well as contributed learned essays of their own. Thus, all of the major lines of scholarly inquiry, biblical, historical, archaeological, have been given voice in a work that approaches King David from viewpoints expressed in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.Cover: King David, Stained Glass, Strasbourg Cathedral, North Transept.
