Description: A land like our own explores the ways the Bible has reused previous traditions and has subsequently been reused by both Jews and Christians. The editors employ the symbol of the "Land" as indicative of both loss and hope, reflective of the ways in which the past is variously figured and re-configured by the authors of both Testaments.
Notes: "This collection of essays originated in two conferences organized by graduate education students of the School of Religions and Theology at Trinity College Dublin."
