Peter C. Craigie was dean of the faculty of Humanities, University of Calgary. He is the author of The Problem of War in the Old Testament and The Old Testament: It's Background, Growth, and Content.
"An excellent introduction to Ugarit and its culture for the
general reader. Craigie gives a fascinating account of the work
undertaken at the site, including the deciphering of the language,
and discusses the literature of Ugarit with reference to the Old
Testament. A guide for further study completes this excellent
survey, which I can recommend most highly."
Roland K. Harrison, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto
"A valuable work . . . carefully done, well balanced, and clearly
written. Professor Craigie, rejecting the attitude that uses
archaeology as a prop to support crumbling faith, correctly views
such materials as background for better understanding of the Old
Testament."
William Sanford LaSor, Fuller Theological Seminary
"Brief, up-to-date, and competent. Clearly demonstrates how
archeological discoveries and studies are making the Bible more
understandable and meaningful for the modern reader."
Bastiaan Van Elderen, Calvin Theological Seminary
"A valuable resource on discoveries that have fascinated and
challenged biblical scholars for over fifty years."
John C. Trevor, School of Theology at Claremont
