Website: http://www.bib- Join us as we celebrate the 90th birthday of renowned Biblical and archaeological scholar Frank Moore Cross with a comprehensive but readable overview of his scholarship. This collection of five interviews with Cross by Biblical Archaeology Review editor Hershel Shanks, is a treasure. For 35 years, Frank Cross was the Hancock Professor of Hebrew and Other Oriental Languages at Harvard University—the third oldest university chair in the country and perhaps the most prestigious perch in Biblical academia. Known for the trailblazing quality of his work, Cross has as bailiwick the ancient Near East. His scholarly interests covered in this book extend from the origins of Israel to the Dead Sea Scrolls, from the history of the alphabet to the history of culture, from handwriting typologies to ancient Hebrew seals and inscriptions. “Cross is one of the giants. This is probably the first time that he has presented his ideas in non-technical terms...a great translation of...tremendously influential scholarship.” —Library Journal “This book...illumines much of what has gone on in First Testament (Hebrew Bible) scholarship in the 20th century...one can see connections and interrelationships of people and ideas unavailable elsewhere.” —James A. Sanders, Claremont Graduate School Download your free copy of Frank Moore Cross: Conversations with a Bible Scholar today by going to the BAS website. # # # The Biblical Archaeology Society (BAS) was founded in 1974 as a nonprofit, nondenominational, educational organization dedicated to the dissemination of information about archaeology in the Bible lands.
