Abstract: There have been various efforts to explain the origin of religions. One approach has been to seek the common origin of religions. That approach has often been tied to an evolutionary view of religion. The other approach has been to focus on the founders of religions. That approach has tended to stress the differences rather than the similarities among religions. This entry concentrates on the issues that the focus on founders have raised. ⸙
Evaluating His Legacy over the Last Sixty Years
Volume Editor:
James Barr is a widely recognized name in biblical studies, even if he is still best known for his The Semantics of Biblical Language. Barr’s Semantics, although first published in 1961, still generates animated discussion of its claims. However, over his lengthy career Barr published significant scholarship on a wide variety of topics within Old Testament studies and beyond. This volume provides an assessment of Barr’s contribution to biblical studies sixty years after the publication of his first and still memorable volume on biblical semantics. As a result, this volume includes essays on major topics such as the Hebrew language, lexical semantics, lexicography, the Septuagint, and biblical theology.
