Fortunate the Eyes That See

The expertise and scope of this prodigious volume produced in honor of David Noel Freedman reflect the fond respect the scholarly world accords this superior scholar of the Hebrew Bible. These forty essays by prominent biblical scholars comment on the wide range of themes in biblical studies that have received Freedman's consideration over the past fifty years. This work, which also includes photographs and a comprehensive bibliography of Freedman's own writings, is not only a fitting tribute to the continuing vitality and influence of Freedman's career; it also serves as a comprehensive survey of the current state of scholarship in biblical studies - and charts its course for the future.
