Summary: Very impressive
Comment: I eventually bought this book because none of the libraries in my area had it! Marvin Pope was one of the big figures in Northwest Semitic studies a generation back. His ground breaking work in Song of Songs as well as his theories concerning the cult of the dead in the Levant provide the background for the title of this collection of essays. The list of contributors to this feschrift reads like a whose-who in ANE. Contributors incluse M. Dahood, W. Hallo, B. Foster, C. Gordon, R. Murphy, D. Pardee, and S. Parker just to mention a few. There are 35 articles in all. While the articles are a bit dated -- especially those involving the cult of the dead -- this is still an important work that will provide the student of the ANE with hours of fascinating reading.
