Introduction
The Biblical studies and Judaica collections are among the strongest in the Divinity
Library.  In 1988, as a service of the library, David Hartcompiled a bibliography to introduce new Hebrew Bible graduate students to the library andto aid us in our research. We are indebted to David for his time and careful compilationof these resources, and to Willa Mathis Johnson who did a previous revision of thisbibliography. After Hart and Johnson, Aurel Ionica revised and enlarged this bibliography.In 1997 Mark Christian revised the bibliography adding new categories (e.g.,Feminist/Womanist Criticism, Dead Sea Scrolls, Archaeology and Hebrew Bible Studies,Hebrew Bible/Ancient Near East Texts and Parallels and several language study divisions)and placing many existing bibliographical divisions under their respective html rubrics.In 1998, Julye Bidmead redesigned the web page, completed significant updates to thebibliography expanding the areas of History of Ancient Israel, Archaeology and HebrewBible Studies, Hebrew Bible/Ancient Near East Texts and Parallels, Akkadian/SumerianLanguage, and Feminist Criticism and added the categories Israelite Religion,Social-Scientific Criticism, Bible Dictionaries, Commentary Series, and Reference Works tothe list.

The inclusion of scholarly journals is another recent change inthe web page. Many of these journals are linked directly to the journal's web page.Pleasebe aware, however, that site addresses quite often change, are busy, or simply may notfunction properly. Please report any notable problems associated with these site addressesto the bibliographer.  Future categories of Hebrew Bible studies are currently inprocess, namely Biblical Exegesis, Literary Criticism, Post-Modern Criticism, Pentateuch,Historical Books (including Deuteronomic Historian), Prophets, and WisdomLiterature.  Every month, new books aquired by the Divinity Library in Hebrew Biblescholarship will be listed along with a short description. Please look for these newchanges to the web site during the 1999-2000 academic year.
 

It is our goal to review and update thisbibliography and we welcome any suggestions that would make this bibliography betterreflect the needs of those who use the library. Finally, while call numbers have beenappended to the works below for the convenience of Vanderbilt patrons, we wish to saywelcome to all of our guests.  While this bibliography does notclaim to be all inclusive,  our hope is that you will find it both instructive andhelpful.
