The fourteen essays in this volume, written by contributors from eleven countries and representing five nationalities, were prepared in honor of Gwynne Henton Davies, Principal Emeritus of Regent’s Park College, Oxford. The essays, treating theological and literary questions relating to pre-exile Israel, are divided into four sections: Old Testament Hermeneutics; the Hexateuch; the Former Prophets and the Latter Prophets; and the Songs.
