The twenty-eight contributors -- comprising both seasoned scholars and rising stars in the field -- interact with Collins's work as they engage the book's unifying theme, focusing their efforts around five areas of scholarly inquiry that reflect the scope of Collins's distinguished career: The Hebrew Bible and Its Reception Wisdom Apocalypticism The Dead Sea Scrolls Jews among Greeks and Romans Contributors: Susan Ackerman Samuel L.
