The Command to Exterminate the Canaanites: Deuteronomy 7
According to Deuteronomy 7, God commands Israel to exterminate the indigenous population of Canaan. In The Command to Exterminate the Canaanites: Deuteronomy 7, Arie Versluis offers an analysis and evaluation of this command. Following an exegesis of the chapter, the historical background, possible motives and the place of the nations of Canaan in the Hebrew Bible are investigated. The theme of religiously inspired violence continues to be a topic of interest. The present volume discusses the consequences of the command to exterminate the Canaanites for the Old Testament view of God and for the question whether the Bible legitimizes violence in the present. Finally, the author shows how he reads this text as a Christian theologian.
The Homeric Epics and the Chinese Book of Songs
The Homeric epics and the Book of Songs are not just the fountainheads of the Western and Chinese literary traditions; for centuries they played a central role in education and communal life, and thus exercised a lasting influence on both civilizations. This volume presents the first systematic comparison of the two corpora. Part One analyzes their genesis and their reception, while Part Two discusses their characteristics as poetic creations. The book brings together Chinese and Western sinologists and classicists, and so promotes significant interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue. Though the contributors rank among the leading experts in their fields, the essays here are accessible not only to their peers, but also to the interested ‘general reader’, and so to all those who seek a deeper understanding of Chinese and Western civilizations, their common human basis and their characteristic differences.

A Research Guide to the Ancient World
The archaeological study of the ancient world has become increasingly popular in recent years.

The Routledge Handbook of Emotions in the Ancient Near East
This in-depth exploration of emotions in the ancient Near East illuminates the rich and complex worlds of feelings encompassed within the literary and material remains of this remarkable region, home to many of the world’s earliest cities and empires, and lays critical foundations for future study. Thirty-four chapters by leading international scholars, including philologists, art historians, and archaeologists, examine the ways in which emotions were conceived, experienced, and expressed by the peoples of the ancient Near East, with particular attention to Mesopotamia, Anatolia, and the kingdom of Ugarit, from the Late Uruk through to the Neo-Babylonian Period (ca. 3300–539 BCE). The vo...
Conceiving the Empire
"The essays in Conceiving the Empire: China and Rome Compared explore how the idea of 'empire' arose and developed in the two most powerful polities in antiquity. Extending its scope well beyond the notions of tianxia, 'All-under-Heaven' in China, and imperium in Rome, the volume deals with the mental images of 'empire' that emerged with the formation of political macro-entities in the East and in the West. Written by a team of experts in Sinology and Classical Studies, Conceiving the Empire concentrates on the essential feature of the ancient Mediterranean and Chinese worlds: the emergence of empire and the enduring influence of the imperial order."--BOOK JACKET.
