The twenty articles collected in this volume cover a wide range of subjects concerned with the Old Testament: religion (the divine name Shaddai, dominant religious ideas between 1500 and 600 B.C., exclusiveness, the kingship of God), The Pentateuch (Genesis xviiii-xix, Og's iron bed, laws in Deuteronomy and Middle Assyrian laws, the Pentateuch, The Deuteronomist and Spinoza), the historical books, history and archaeology (Ugarit and Israelite origins, Arameans, the system of the twelve tribes of Israel, the text of the historical books, 1 Kings xiii, places for women in Israelite cities), the prophetical books (Amos and Hosea, Isaiah), The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha (Women in Ecclesiasticus and Judith, the origin of evil in apocalyptic and the Dead Sea Scrolls), and literary conventions (the explicit and the implicit, proleptic summaries). The articles (in English, French or German) were written by scholars with varying religious backgrounds from various countries, and were originally read at a Congress in Paris of the International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament in 1992.
