Leonard-Fleckman Mahri, Monroe Lauren A.S., Stahl Michael J., Johnson Dylan R. (eds.). A Community of Peoples. Studies on Society and Politics in the Bible and Ancient Near East in Honor of Daniel E. Fleming

Leiden, Boston: Brill, 2022. — 443 p. — (Harvard Semitic Studies 69).A “Community of Peoples”: Studies on Society and Politics in the Bible and Ancient Near East in Honor of Daniel E. Fleming draws together a diverse community of scholars to honor the career of Daniel E. Fleming as a historian of the Bible and ancient Near East.
Together, these scholars participate in a dynamic historical enterprise, each one positioning themself along a Middle Eastern spatial-temporal continuum stretching from the Old Babylonian to the Persian periods. Each contributor attempts to touch a sliver of ancient history, whether a particular person or community, a text or visual image or scribal process. They do so through a diversity of methods and disciplines, which together reflect the possibilities and promises for history writing.
