The Pitcher is Broken: Memorial Essays for Gosta W.Ahlstrom: No. 190 (Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Supplement S.) - Tapa dura

Those of us who were fortunate enough to know [Gosta Ahlstrom] know of his cool humour, his great joy in life and learning, his strength of character, and finally the depth of his commitment not only to scholarship but to each of us... He will be missed. Robert D. Haak This volume contains tributes and essays in memory of Gosta W. Ahlstrom, Professor of Old Testament in the Divinity School and the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations of the University of Chicago. Written by former students and colleagues, the essays deal with the history and archaeology of Iron Age Palestine and the ancient Near East, the Deuteronomistic History and the history of Old Testament studies. Also including tributes read at Ahlstrom s memorial service, his final bibliography and a list of the dissertations he supervised, this book presents a picture of Ahlstrom as scholar, teacher and friend.
