Biblical and Related Studies Presented to Samuel Iwry
Edited by Ann Kort and Scott Morschauser
Samuel Iwry has enjoyed a long and distinguished career as professor in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at the Johns Hopkins University, and professor and dean of the Baltimore Hebrew College. It is an altogether fitting tribute to Prof. Iwry’s achievements, as both scholar and teacher, that his many colleagues and friends have joined together to produce this festschrift in his honor.
