Thinking of Water in the Early Second Temple Period (Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft 461) (2014. XVI, 485 S. 230 mm)

Water is a vital resource and is widely acknowledged as such. Thus it often serves as an ideological and linguistic symbol that stands for and evokes concepts central within a community. This volume explores 'thinking of water' and concepts expressed through references to water within the symbolic system of the late Persian/early Hellenistic period and as it does so it sheds light on the social mindscape of the early Second Temple community.
