Reviews
'It's not common for a book to fundamentally reorient your thinking about a subject you've taught for years. By bringing in fresh material from outside the usual canons of ancient-world scholarship, Brett Maiden has written that kind of book. He has provided new lenses and tools that should open up new conversations.' Christopher B. Hays, D. Wilson Moore Professor of Ancient Near Eastern Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary
'Maiden's monograph is an important step in the present early phase of the development of the cognitive study of the Bible.' Joachim Schaper, Vetus Testamentum 71
