How the Bible Became a Book: The Textualization of Ancient Israel
Schniedewind, William M. (University of California, Los Angeles)
Combines Middle East archaeological discoveries with insights from the history of writing to address how the Bible came to be written. Relying on anthropologists and archaeologists to date the writing of biblical literature to the late-Iron Age, Schniedewind challenges the assertion that literacy first arose in fifth century BCE Greece.
