Reading Biblical Texts Together: Pursuing Minoritized Biblical Criticism
Tat-siong Benny Liew and Fernando F. Segovia, editors

This volume, edited by Tat-siong Benny Liew and Fernando F. Segovia, expands the work begun in They Were All Together in One Place? Toward Minority Biblical Criticism (2009) by focusing on specific texts for scholarly engagement and exchange. Essays by scholars of racial/ethnic minoritized criticism of the Bible highlight the various factors and dynamics at play in the formation of power relations within and through four biblical texts: two from the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 21 and 1 Kings 12) and two from the New Testament (John 4 and Revelation 18). The voices in this volume expand our understandings of minoritization from a global perspective.

Rabbinic Literature
Tal Ilan, Lorena Miralles-Macia, and Ronit Nikolsky, editors

This latest volume in the Bible and Women series is devoted to rabbinic literature from late Jewish antiquity to the early Middle Ages. Using the most up-to-date methodologies of rabbinic literature analysis, some essays analyze biblical law and gender relations as they are reflected in the rabbinic sages’ argumentation, while others examine either the rabbinic portrayal of a certain woman or a group of women or the role of biblical women in a specific rabbinic context.

The Development of Biblical Hebrew Prepositions
H. H. Hardy

The Development of Biblical Hebrew Prepositions presents an analysis of the sources and diachronic developments of forty-one prepositions in the Hebrew Bible from the viewpoint of grammaticalization within a historical-linguistics framework. The study contributes a detailed corpus-based accounting of the variation evidenced by the usages of Biblical Hebrew prepositions and provides a descriptive model of the emergence of this linguistic subsystem.
