{"product_id":"theological-dictionary-of-the-old-testament-vol-1","title":"Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament  Vol. 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis multivolume work is still proving to be as fundamental to Old Testament studies as its companion set  the Kittel-Friedrich Theological Dictionary of the New Testament  has been to New Testament studies.  The TDOT volumes present in-depth discussions of the key Hebrew and Aramaic words in the Old Testament. Leading scholars of various religious traditions (including Roman Catholic  Lutheran  Reformed  Anglican  Greek Orthodox  and Jewish) and from many parts of the world (Denmark  France  Germany  Great Britain  Greece  Israel  Italy  the Netherlands  Norway  Sweden  Switzerland  and the United States) have been carefully selected for each article by editors Botterweck  Ringgren  and Fabry and their consultants  George W. Anderson  Henri Cazelles  David Noel Freedman  Shemaryahu Talmon  and Gerhard Wallis.  The intention of the writers is to concentrate on meaning  starting from the more general  everyday senses and building to an understanding of theologically significant concepts. To avoid artificially restricting the focus of the articles  TDOT considers under each keyword the larger groups of words that are related linguistically or semantically. The lexical work includes detailed surveys of a words occurrences  not only in biblical material but also in other ancient Near Eastern writings. Sumerian  Akkadian  Egyptian  Ethiopic  Ugaritic  and Northwest Semitic sources are surveyed  among others  as well as the Qumran texts and the Septuagint; and in cultures where no cognate word exists  the authors often consider cognate ideas.  TDOTs emphasis  though  is on Hebrew terminology and on biblical usage. The contributors employ philology as well as form-critical and traditio-historical methods  with the aim of understanding the religious statements in the Old Testament. Extensive bibliographical information adds to the value of this reference work.  This English edition attempts to serve the needs of Old Testament students without the linguistic background of more advanced scholars; it does so  however  without sacrificing the needs of the latter. Ancient scripts (Hebrew  Greek  etc.) are regularly transliterated in a readable way  and meanings of foreign words are given in many cases where the meanings might be obvious to advanced scholars. Where the Hebrew text versification differs from that of English Bibles  the English verse appears in parentheses. Such features will help all earnest students of the Bible to avail themselves of the manifold theological insights contained in this monumental work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44968066351157,"sku":"ByrdShop_0802823254","price":61.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780802823250.jpg?v=1770645669","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/theological-dictionary-of-the-old-testament-vol-1","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
