Publisher's Synopsis
Monuments and the Old Testament by Ira Maurice Price is a comprehensive study of the relationship between ancient monuments and the Old Testament. The book explores the ways in which monuments, such as stone structures and inscriptions, can provide insights into the historical and cultural context of the Old Testament. Price examines a wide range of monuments from various regions, including Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Palestine, and analyzes their significance in relation to biblical narratives and themes. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the importance of monuments in ancient cultures and their relevance to the study of the Old Testament. The second part focuses on specific monuments and their connection to biblical stories and characters, such as the Tower of Babel, the Code of Hammurabi, and the Rosetta Stone. The third part examines the ways in which monuments can shed light on the historical and cultural context of the Old Testament, including topics such as the Israelite monarchy, the Babylonian exile, and the development of Jewish law.Throughout the book, Price draws on his extensive knowledge of ancient languages, archaeology, and biblical scholarship to provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of the relationship between monuments and the Old Testament. The book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of biblical studies, archaeology, and ancient history, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of religion and culture in the ancient world.1899.
