Old Testament Parallels: Laws and Stories from the Ancient Near East

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.
This fourth edition has been completely revised in light of the ongoing and exciting discoveries of more and more ancient Near Eastern texts.Victor H. Matthews, Don C. Benjamin
