Assyriology

Assyriology: Its Use And Abuse In Old Testament Study is a book written by Francis Brown and published in 1885. The book discusses the use of Assyriology in the study of the Old Testament, particularly in the interpretation and translation of ancient texts. The author argues that while Assyriology can be a valuable tool in understanding the historical context of the Old Testament, it should not be used to undermine the authority of the Bible or to dismiss its spiritual significance. Brown also critiques some of the more extreme claims made by Assyriologists, such as the idea that the Old Testament was derived entirely from Babylonian sources. The book is aimed at scholars and students of theology and biblical studies, as well as anyone interested in the relationship between ancient Near Eastern cultures and the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
