Biblical Bibliographies: Index


This section of the site contains international bibliographies in selected areas of biblical studies, almost entirely related to the Old Testament / First Testament / Hebrew Bible. Titles in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish are listed (only exceptionally in other languages).

At present the bibliographies, to a large extent, deal with the areas that I had occasion to teach most often, namely, the Latter Prophets, the history of ancient Israel, and theology of the OT / Hebrew Bible. However I would hope to expand the coverage and update the bibliographies considerably in the future development of the site.

Please note that in some cases the same bibliography is listed under more than one name in the following index, to facilitate your search.

Abbreviations are used in the bibliographies for the names of most journals and series; the full titles can be found in the "list of abbreviations", to which there are links at the top and at the end of every page of bibliography.

Bibliographies put online for the first time in the preceding twelve months are signalled as such below, as are those which have undergone major revision. Ongoing small revisions of existing bibliographies, however, are not notified on this index page but only by a timestamp within the bibliography page in question.

The following alphabetical table should make it easier to locate a specific bibliography:

A   |   B   |   C   |   D   |   E   |   F   |   G   |   H   |   I   |   J   |   K   |   L   |   M   |   N   |   O   |   P   |   Q   |   R   |   S   |   T   |   U   |   V   |   W   |   X   |   Y   |   Z
