New from SBL Press The History and Archaeology of Phoenicia
Hélène Sader
The History and Archaeology of Phoenicia draws on written sources and archaeological excavations to present the history and archaeology of Iron Age Phoenicia proper. Hélène Sader’s unique approach focuses on evidence from the Phoenician homeland, rather than the colonies, to present a clear picture of Phoenicia and its inhabitants. Historical as well as modern maps with the locations of relevant archaeological sites familiarize readers with the topography and toponymy of the area. Sader’s evaluation and synthesis of the evidence is a corrective to assumptions of a unified Phoenician kingdom as presented in later written sources.

Sarianna Metso
The Dead Sea Scrolls text known as the Community Rule describes the religious beliefs and practices as well as the organizational rules of the group behind the Scrolls. However, different manuscripts of the Community Rule show considerable variation, which displays the work of ancient Jewish scribes and their intentional literary development of the text. In this volume, Sarianna Metso brings together the surviving evidence in a new edition that presents a critically established Hebrew text with an introduction, English translation, and textual notes.

Reading the Epistle of James: A Resource for Students
Eric F. Mason and Darian R. Lockett, editors
This accessible student introduction to contemporary scholarship on the Epistle of James explores the possible sources and backgrounds used by the author of James, the genre and literary structure of the book, and its major theological themes. Subsequent chapters examine the book’s reception in the early church, the relationship between the epistle and the historical James, and major Catholic and Protestant interpretations of the book in the Reformation era.
The First Urban Churches 5: Colossae, Hierapolis, and Laodicea
James R. Harrison and L. L. Welborn, editors
This fifth installment of The First Urban Churches focuses on the urban context of Christian churches in first-century Roman Colossae, Hierapolis, and Laodicea. Building on the methodologies introduced in the first volume, contributors illustrate how an investigation of inscriptions, papyri, archaeological remains, coins, and iconography helps readers to understand properly the challenges, threats, and opportunities that the early Christ-believers faced in the cities of the Lycus Valley.
