Synopsis

Old Testament Parallels has been, since its first edition, one of Paulist Press's best regarded and best selling titles. It has brought fresh and reader friendly translation of the most important near east documents that share parallel themes and issues with biblical stores. Now, this third edition has been completely revised in light of the ongoing and exciting discoveries of more and more ancient Near Eastern texts, and includes selections that have not yet appeared in the SBL series: Writings from the Ancient World and which were not included in the three-volume Context of Scripture by Hallo and Younger. Many of the parallels from the first two editions have been expanded to provide more coverage of larger texts like the "Stories of Gilgamesh" and the "Code of Hammurabi." New parallels have been added, enlarging the anthology to sixty-three selections.
