Description

Since the beginning of critical scholarship biblical texts have been dated using linguistic evidence.

Until now there has been no introduction to and comprehensive overview of the field.

Volume 1 introduces the linguistic dating of biblical texts.

The book examines the principles and methodology used to differentiate Archaic, Early and Late biblical Hebrew; the relationship between linguistic characteristics and linguistic chronology or historical origins; the effects of dialects and diglossia on textual criticism; and the significance of extra-biblical sources.

Key text samples and their linguistic features are presented, with concrete illustrations and pointers for discussion.
