Reviews«This work will enhance previous studies on blessing and curse in the Bible by putting the biblical material in its ancient Near Eastern context. The work establishes some cultural differences in expressing blessing and curse. It is a valuable resource for biblical and ancient Near Eastern specialists and students.» (Joel F. Drinkard, Jr., The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) «The subject of blessing and curse in the Old Testament has been frequently studied, and scholars have advanced widely differing theories about its meaning and development. Crawford here undertakes the task which should have been done years ago of presenting a full survey of all the relevant data from Hebrew and related inscriptions which date from the period of the Israelite kingdoms.» (H.G.M. Williamson, University of Cambridge) «...the study...adds important detail to our understanding of blessings and curses in the ancient Near East.» (Bernard F. Batto, The Catholic Biblical Quarterly) «This study is well done, and it is useful for readers who may wish to know more about how blessing and curse formulae were used in Syro-Palestine in the first half of the first millennium B.C.E.» (William H. Shea, Hewbrew Studies)

Synopsis"Blessing and Curse in Syro-Palestinian Inscriptions of the Iron Age" is an examination of blessings and / or curses in all published alphabetic inscriptions from Iron II (1000-586 B.C.E.) Syria-Palestine. Inscriptions having either blessing, curse, or both (in general or specific forms) have been collected and sorted according to the presence therein of deity names. Those inscriptions which call upon Yahweh, God of Israel, for blessing or curse have been separated from those which call upon other deities and from those which did not contain a deity name. The blessings and curses in these inscriptions have then been compared and contrasted both to each other and the Hebrew Bible in order to show what the various peoples of that area and time meant by blessing and curse and how they expressed these ideas., Blessing and Curse in Syro-Palestinian Inscriptions of the Iron Age is an examination of blessings and / or curses in all published alphabetic inscriptions from Iron II (1000-586 B.C.E.)
