Book Description
Phoenician culture was that of autonomous city-states. Indeed, the Phoenicians seem to have zealously held on to this Bronze Age social structure long after it gave way to nationalism and statehood in the southern Levant. Modern scholars often tend to emphasize the regional and individual nature of each Phoenician city to a point that some even question whether the Phoenicians can be referred to as an ethnic unit. As Aubet (2001: 9) stated, the Phoenicians were "a people without a state, without territory and without political unity." In this study, the author aims at examining this very issue through an analysis of the Phoenicians in the eastern Mediterranean during the Iron Age I-III, ca. 1200-332 BCE, the zenith of the Phoenician civilization. By analyzing various aspects of the material culture which were unique to the Phoenicians throughout the periods in question, the author shall attempt to identify a 'Phoenician koine', i.e. a shared material culture which reflected a common ethnic, religious, cultic, and social identity (Burke 2008: 160), which developed despite the lack of political unity.

Book Description
How does the creation of the universe in six (or seven) days, according to the Book of Genesis, fit the evidence of the universe 15 milliard years of existence? Why does the Book of Genesis contain three different creation stories? In what sense is the Book of Genesis written in future tense? What is the meaning of one of the very first commandments, "to till it and to keep it", and why are we told, in so many details, about Noah's project of keeping the world's fauna? Why is the Book of Genesis focused on fights between brothers, even murders, generation after generation and how can they be resolved? Isaac's sacrifice: who was testing whom and howdid Isaac have the last laugh? Is "Israel" a feminine/maternal entity? Esau and Jacob in the continual Jewish Christian contention and the mysterious and awesome role of "the Ancient Kings of Edom". What is the significance of the Twelve Tribes of Israel to our present time? These questions and many others are the core of ReGenesis: While giving fair treatment to key traditional Jewish and Christian, and even Muslim, exegesis, this study reveals many novel discoveries, based on recent research as well as on a wealth of letter codes and numericalpatterns.

Book Description
This volume brings together the latest scholarship on Jewish literary products and the ways in which they can be interpreted from three different perspectives. In part 1, contributors consider texts as literature, as cultural products, and as historical documents to demonstrate the many ways that early Jewish, rabbinic, and modern secular Jewish literary works make meaning and can be read meaningfully. Part 2 focuses on exegesis of specific biblical and rabbinic texts as well as medieval Jewish poetry. Part 3 examines medieval and early modern Jewish books as material objects and explores the history, functions, and reception of these material objects. Contributors include Javier del Barco, Elisheva Carlebach, Ezra Chwat, Evelyn M. Cohen, Naftali S. Cohn, William Cutter, Yaacob Dweck, Talya Fishman, Steven D. Fraade, Dalia-Ruth Halperin, Martha Himmelfarb, Marc Hirshman, Tamar Kadari, Israel Knohl, Susanne Klingenstein, Katrin Kogman-Appel, Jon D. Levenson, Paul Mandel, Annett Martini, Jordan S.
