T&T Clark Critical Readings is a series of reader-style companions. The volumes present key studies in a sub-discipline of Biblical Studies in one convenient volume aimed at postgraduates, scholars, and researchers. Each volume is broken down into carefully selected segments, which are each introduced by the volume editor(s). As such these reference resources seek to map sub-fields for postgraduate study and enquiry. Each section finishes with an annotated bibliography, furthering the aims of the volume in generating research and further study.
