(The author of Lamentations mourns the fall of Jerusalem t...)
The author of Lamentations mourns the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in the sixth century B.C. and wonders aloud if God has abandoned his people altogether. This thorough revision of Hillers' earlier Anchor Bible commentary on the Book of Lamentations incorporates new literary theories and information connected with the recent findings of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Covenant: The History of a Biblical Idea (Seminar in the History of Ideas)
(The familiar idea of a covenant between God and His peopl...)
The familiar idea of a covenant between God and His people is central to much of the literature of the Old Testament. Through analyses of the style, content, and language of biblical and extra-biblical documents, Dr. Hillers renders the complex idea of covenant comprehensible to the layman as he provides insights into such ideas as the love of God and the knowledge of God--both of which are intimately connected with Israel's concept of covenant.

Palmyrene Aramaic Texts is a compendious edition of the published Aramaic inscriptions from ancient Palmyra (Tadmor) in Syria as well as Palmyrene inscriptions from elsewhere in the Roman empire. The book has three main parts: a bibliography, the texts, and a glossary. Nearly all of the individual Aramaic texts are accompanied by an indication of provenance, present location, genre, relations to other texts in the same group, and bibliographic references. For multilingual inscriptions, the related Greek or Latin text is given. The extensive glossary supplies the place of notes or translations of individual texts and contains definitions, grammatical analyses of all attested forms, and citations (with translations) illustrating the contexts in which a word occurs. The book includes an English-Aramaic index to the glossary, a list of personal names, and a number of concordances of text references, including museum numbers, to facilitate relation of this edition to earlier works in the field. Three maps are also included, for location purposes. Palmyrene Aramaic Texts is a contribution to Palmyrene studies that will be useful as well within the fields of Semitic studies, biblical studies, ancient history, and history of art.

Lamentations: Second Revised Edition (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries)
(The poetry found in the "Book of Lamentations" is an eloq...)
The poetry found in the "Book of Lamentations" is an eloquent expression of one man's, and one nation's, despair. The poet is deep in mourning as a result of the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in the sixth century b.c.e. He looks to Israel's own sins to explain the catastrophe, and yet he recites poignant examples of Israel's suffering in wondering aloud if God has abandoned his people altogether. Thus his lament is both a confession and a prayer for hope in spite of the horrible defeat."Lamentations" is traditionally thought to have been written by the prophet Jeremiah; today the question is whether one man wrote it or many. In his Introduction, Delbert Hillers gives the evidence against Jeremiah's authorship and suggests that the poems should be treated as an intelligible unity, most likely written by an eyewitness to the events described."The Book of Lamentations" has been taken up through history both as poetry and as an expression of boundless grief. It has become part of the Jewish and Christian liturgies, as well as a source of comfort far beyond the time in which it was written. This commentary fills in the book's literary and historical background, and we emerge with a fresh respect for the artistry with which it was composed. The poetry itself demands this respect, with a translation here that carries the emotion and heartbreak of the original Hebrew.This new edition by Delbert R. Hillers is a thorough revision of his earlier Anchor Bible commentary, incorporating new literary theories and textual discoveries connected with the very latest Dead Sea Scrolls scholarship.
