The David Story: A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel
Author: Robert Alter
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393070255
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
"A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.

Excavations at Tiberias, 1989-1994
Author: Yizhar Hirschfeld
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
The excavations conducted in Tiberias from 1989 to 1994 focused on two main sites within the boundaries of the ancient city. Part one of this excavation report deals with the first site - that in the area of the Sewage Processing Plant at the foot of Mount Berenice, 200m west of the Sea of Galilee. Part two deals with the second site, which comprises the two hills crowning the summit of Mount Berenice. The Sewage Processing Plant site yielded finds dating from the Late Roman Period to the Crusader Period and Middle-Ages. The main finds include a large structure from the Roman-Byzantine periods, situated below remains of dwellings from the Abbasid-Fatimid periods. Chapters are set out to include the mosaics; the pottery and small finds; numismatic finds; glass and metal objects; and a bone figurine. The reports from Site Two include a section of the city wall of Tiberias and the remains of hospice and monastery buildings. Further chapters again present the architectural remains; pottery and small finds; the numismatic finds; the marble finds; the Early Bronze Age 1 pottery; and the anthropological remains.
