This collection of essays commemorates the career contributions of Peter W. Flint (1951-2016). Featuring twenty-seven new contributions from an international group of scholars specializing in various disciplines of biblical studies–Dead Sea Scrolls, Septuagint, Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, Second Temple Judaism, and Christian origins–the volume interacts with and gives fresh insight into the fields shaped and impacted by Professor Flint’s life work. Essays in part 1 explore the interplay between text-critical methods, the growth and formation of the Hebrew Scriptures, and the making of modern critical editions. Part 2 maps dynamics of scriptural interpretation and reception in ancient Jewish and Christian literatures of the Second Temple period.
