Many thanks to the kind folks at Fortress Press for sending along a review copy of Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible, Third Edition Revised & Expanded by Emanuel Tov. I am looking forward to making my way through this new edition. Here’s a brief description from the back cover of the book:
“Since its initial publication in 1992, Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible as established itself as the indispensable authoritative textbook and reference on the subject.
In this thoroughly revised third edition, Emmanuel Tov has fully incorporated the insights of the last twenty lively years of scholarship, including new perspectives on the biblical texts among the now published Dead Sea Scroll biblical manuscripts. Here the student will find a well-organized introduction to the resources and practice of textual criticism; the scholar, a penetratingly insightful programmatic discussion of its methods. new discussions and new features abound. The result is a wonderfully lucid presentation of a complex, fast-changing, and engaging discipline.”
