"How does the Old Testament Law fits into the arc of the Bible, and how it relevant to the church today? Exploring how God intended the Law to work in its original context as well as the New Testament perspective on the Law, Richard Averbeck argues that the whole Law applies to Christians-our task is to discern how it applies in the light of Christ"--

This Festschrift assembles 32 contributions devoted to K. Lawson Younger, Jr. by his colleagues and students from North America, Israel and Europe. In accordance with significant topics of his own scholarly oeuvre the articles focus on Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern studies. Among many other topics the relations of “Deuteronomy 13 and the Succession Treaty of Esarhaddon” are explored as well as “Rituals in the Gideon Narrative (Judges 6–8)”, “Deities in the Ammonite Personal Names” and “the textual evidence for “The ‘Priests’ of Ugarit”. Archaeological contributions focus on—to list just a few—“The Carmel in the Bronze and Iron Ages”, “Deer Antlers in Iron Age I Cultic Contexts at Tel Abel Beth Maacah” and the “Archaeological Evidence of Priests and Priesthood in Iron Age Israel and Judah”. Linguistic and cultural studies evaluate recent studies of Amorite and examine “East as Symbolic Space” and raise the question of “Aramaean Identity” in Iron Age Syria.

Hermann Gunkel was a scholar in the generation of the origins of Assyriology, the spectacular discovery by George Smith of fragments of the “Chaldean Genesis,” and the Babel-Bibel debate. Gunkel’s thesis, inspired by materials supplied to him by the Assyriologist Heinrich Zimmern, was to take the Chaoskampf motif of Revelation as an event that would not only occur at the end of the world but had already happened at the beginning, before Creation. In other words, in this theory, one imagines God in Genesis 1 as first having battled Rahab, Leviathan, and Yam (the forces of Chaos) in a grand battle, and only then beginning to create.The problem with Gunkel’s theory is that it did not simply identify common elements in the mythologies of the ancient Near East but imposed upon them a structure dictating the relationships between the elements, a structure that was based on inadequate knowledge and a forced interpretation of his sources. On the other hand, one is not entitled to insist that there was no cultural conversation among peoples who spent the better part of several millennia trading with, fighting, and conquering one another.Creation and Chaos attempts to address some of these issues. The contributions are organized into five sections that address various aspects of the issues raised by Gunekl’s theories.
