Israelite Religion and Biblical Theology: Collected Essays

Written by P.D. Miller Reviewed By Philip Johnston

These 41 collected essays by the doyen of OT studies at Princeton cover three overlapping areas: ‘The Bible in its Near Eastern World’ (11), ‘The Psalms’ (11), and ‘Old Testament Theology’ (19). They were first published in the period 1965–2000, with increased interest through time in the later sections. Only one appears for the first time in English (‘The Canon in Contemporary American Discussion’); the others can be found in various journals (24), Festschriften (10) and other books (6). They develop Miller’s probing and stimulating interest in Israel’s faith, as seen especially in the Psalms and Deuteronomy, and in its relevance to Christians. The book will be a handy place to consult several important articles, though more for the library than the student shelf.
