Description
This volume honours Professor H. G. M. Williamson, Regius Professor of Hebrew at Oxford University through a collection of essays by colleagues and former students from across the globe.

Reviews / Votes
"The entire collection is fantastic. Every essay is worth reading and the volume is the sort which can be consulted because the essays contained therein are 'on the cutting edge' of contemporary scholarship. The honoree is to be congratulated for his years of scholarly work and those who offered essays in his honor are as well as they thereby push ever forward this field of study."Jim West, Quartz Hill School of Theology
