From the publisher:
“Telling contexts is a title that signifies in layers, not unlike an ancient Levantine tell or an old Hebrew poem. At base the title focalizes the two primary disciplines of the two honorees of this volume, archaeology (tell) and textual studies (texts). The essays, contributed by friends and colleagues of both honorees, are organized into four sections: Dimensions of textuality, Judges, Texts and ideas, and Archaeology.”
