Download or read book Ugarit and the Old Testament written by Peter C. Craigie and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-04-08 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1929, a remarkable discovery was made by archaeologists at Ras Shamra in syria; beneath the soils of a small hill, they discovered the remains and libraries of the ancient city of Ugarit, which had been destroyed by barbarian invaders shortly after 1200BC. This book tells the story of that discovery and describes the life and civilization of the ancient city of Ugarit. In addition to updating the story with more recent archeological finds, this study recounts and assesses the extraordinary impact that the rediscovery has had on the last 50 years of the Old Testament studies. Written in a non-technical fashion, Ugarit and the Old Testament should be of interest to all readers of the Bible, particularly students and pastors concerned with the impact of contemporary archaeological discoveries on Old Testament studies.

Book excerpt: It is the purpose of this study to introduce the non-specialist to some of the significant discoveries made at Ras Shamra since the accidental discovery of the site in 1928. Particular attention is placed on three major epics which are named for heroes whose exploits were commemorated by the ancient inhabitants of Ras Shamra, then known as Ugarit. The poem known to us as the Aqhat Epic was earlier given the name Danel (the transliteration from Ugaritic of the name known to us as Daniel) and the Baal Epic was earlier named Anat for the sister of the god whose name it now bears. The third epic bears the name of Keret. This volume in the "Baker Studies in Biblical Archaeology" series is an account of the discovery of these tablets, life in Ras Shamra, and the significance of the tablets.

Download or read book Ugarit Ras Shamra written by Adrian Curtis and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Cities of the Biblical World series - a series presenting the results of recent major archaeological developments at major Biblical sites for the general reader, the student and the tourist. By chance, fifty years ago, a farmer found a cemetery on the coast of Syria. It led to a series of discoveries, and in particular of an unknown language which has radically changed our understanding of the Israelites' settlement in Canaan.In Ugarit, Adrian Curtis describes the discovery of a royal palace near the sea, two temples and numerous buildings and artefacts. But the most important discovery was of a collection of baked clay tablets and other collections of texts in a variety of languages, including a local, unknown language which may be the first known alphabet. This was deciphered with amazing speed and one repeated phrase confirmed that the site was the ancient city of Ugarit. When the children of Israel arrived in Canaan, they borrowed and adapted ideas from Canaanite culture.The Ugaritic texts were written at this time, and they may prove vital to our understanding of early Hebrew thought and language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A reprint of a classic exposition of the understanding of the Old Testament. Rowley brings the Old Testament back to the forefront of Scholarship and finds rich meaning in much of what has previously been buried. Increasingly men are turning their thoughts to the deeper message of the Old Testament, and finding richer meaning in the light of all work that has been done. The Old Testament need not to be buried beneath the weight of scholarship, but may rather stand on the foundation of scholarship, sustained by it and firmly upheld before men - from the Preface."

Download or read book Ugarit at Seventy Five written by K. Lawson Younger and published by Eisenbrauns. This book was released on 2007 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1928, a Syrian farmer was plowing on the Mediterranean coast near a bay called Minet el-Beida. His plow ran into a stone just beneath the surface. When he examined the obstruction, he found a large man-made flagstone that led into a tomb, in which he found some valuable objects that he sold to a dealer. Little did he know what he had discovered. In April of 1929, C. F. A. Schaeffer began excavation of the tombs, but a month later he moved to the nearby tell of Ras Shamra. On the afternoon of May 14, the first inscribed clay tablet came to light--thus the beginnings of the study of Ugarit and the Ugaritic language. Seventy-five years have passed, and the impact of this extraordinary discovery is still being felt. Its impact on biblical studies perhaps has no equal. In February 2005, some of the preeminent Ugaritologists of the present generation gathered at the Midwest Regional meetings of the American Oriental Society to commemorate these 75 years by reading the papers that are now published in this volume. The first five essays deal with the Ugaritic texts, while the last three deal with archaeological or historical issues.
