Assyriology: Its Use And Abuse In Old Testament Study (1885)

Assyriology: Its Use And Abuse In Old Testament Study (1885) is a scholarly work written by Francis Brown, an American theologian and Semitic language scholar. The book explores the use of Assyriology, the study of the ancient civilization of Assyria, in the interpretation and analysis of the Old Testament. Brown argues that Assyriology can be a valuable tool for understanding the historical and cultural context of the Old Testament, but it can also be misused and lead to erroneous interpretations. He examines various examples of Assyriological studies and their impact on Old Testament scholarship, and provides guidelines for the proper use of Assyriology in biblical studies. The book is aimed at scholars and students of theology and biblical studies, as well as anyone interested in the history and culture of the ancient Near East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
