The History of Israelite Religion

A Secular or Theological Subject?
By Frank Moore Cross
042 If we propose to study the history of the religion of ancient Israel, we must be governed by the same postulates that are the basis of modern historical method. Our task must be a historical, not a theological, enterprise. We must trace the...

Daniel and Belshazzar in History

By Alan R. Millard

The Oxyrhynchus Papyri

The Remarkable Discovery You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
By Stephen J. Patterson
Discovered in the Egyptian desert over a century ago, the Oxyrhynchus Papyri have provided invaluable insights into the life and times of an early Roman Christian community of the Nile Valley.

The Dead Sea Scrolls and the People Who Wrote Them

By Frank Moore Cross
After a quarter century of discovery and publication, the study of the manuscripts from the desert of Judah has entered a new, more mature phase. True, the heat and noise of the early controversies have not wholly dissipated. One occasionally hears the agonized cry of a scholar pinned beneath a collapsed theory. And in the popular press, no doubt, the so-called battle of the scrolls will continue to be fought with mercenaries for some time to come. However, the initial period of confusion is past. From the burgeoning field of scroll research and the new disciplines it has created, certain coherent patterns of fact and meaning have emerged.

By Hanan Eshel
