A PRIMER ON UGARITIC
“Despite the enormous importance of the Ugaritic language (and its impact on biblical studies), we have lacked an introduction to the language that is ideally suited for first-semester students or for selfstudy. Hunt and Schniedewind – at last! – have produced exactly such a volume. The inductive approach, the exposure to distinct literary genres, the glossed texts, the numerous cultural insights, and the grammatical précis in this primer are among the many aspects of the book that make it a must-have.” – Brent A. Strawn, Candler School of Theology and Graduate Division of Religion, Emory University
SCHNIEDEWIND HUNT
“In A Primer on Ugaritic, Joel Hunt and William Schniedewind have given to the field its first introduction to the Ugaritic language ever to be produced in English. Informed by the most recent research, the authors provide a well-rounded and balanced treatment of grammatical information and texts. This book contains everything students beginning Ugaritic need: a fine introduction to the ancient city of Ugarit; a concise survey of the grammar; accessible introductions to the various genres of texts; a chrestomathy of more than twenty Ugaritic texts from different genres, along with helpful notes; a glossary of the words in the texts with cognates from various languages; and a listing of resources for further study. The work is user-friendly, clear, and engaging. A very welcome addition to Ugaritic studies, this primer will serve generations of students.” – Mark Smith, New York University

Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture
This book examines the theology and ethics of land use, especially the practices of modern industrialized agriculture, in light of critical biblical exegesis. Nine interrelated essays explore the biblical writers’ pervasive concern for the care of arable land against the background of the geography, social structures, and religious thought of ancient Israel. This approach consistently brings out neglected aspects of texts, both poetry and prose, that are central to Jewish and Christian traditions. Rather than seeking solutions from the past, Ellen F. Davis creates a conversation between ancient texts and contemporary agrarian writers; thus she provides a fresh perspective from which to view the destructive practices and assumptions that now dominate the global food economy. The biblical exegesis is wide-ranging and sophisticated; the language is literate and accessible to a broad audience.
