Considering classical Hebrew from the standpoint of a writing system as opposed to vernacular speech, Schniedewind demonstrates how the Israelites' long history of migration, war exile, and other momentous events is reflected in Hebrew's linguistic evolution.

One of the enduring problems in biblical studies is how the Bible came to be written. Clearly, scribes were involved. But our knowledge of scribal training in ancient Israel is limited. William Schniedewind explores the unexpected cache of inscriptions discovered at a remote, Iron Age military post called Kuntillet 'Ajrud to assess the question of how scribes might have been taught to write. Here, far from such urban centers as Jerusalem or Samaria, plaster walls and storage pithoi were littered with inscriptions. Apart from the sensational nature of some of the contents-perhaps suggesting Yahweh had a consort-these inscriptions also reflect actual writing practices among soldiers stationed near the frontier. What emerges is a very different picture of how writing might have been taught, as opposed to the standard view of scribal schools in the main population centers.

Whereas most biblical scholarship emphasizes the role of discrete, "heroic" individual authors, Schniedewind moves beyond this individualistic bias and argues for a new understanding of biblical writing as an essentially communal endeavour. His book explores the history of biblical scribal communities from their early days of writing on behalf of local administrations and the military, to the transformative impact of the Assyrian invasion, to the role of priestly scribes in the collection and dissemination of early versions of the Bible-and in the crucial transformation of these Judean writings into sacred literature. Along the way, he illustrates the diversity of actors involved in the composition and redaction of the Hebrew Bible and provides important context for understanding their lives: their society, what Late Bronze Age technologies and practices they drew from, their educational backgrounds and training, and more"--
