This Guide differs from the various bibliographies concerning women in the Bible and the ancient Near East referred to above in that it refers to a significant body of research on women in the biblical world in the two important living languages of the Bible landsModern Hebrew and Modern Arabic. Readers will also note that I have recorded not only artides in so-called scientific refereed journals but also articles in popular and semi-popular magazines. With respect to the subject at hand neither type of journal has a monopoly on either wisdom or foolishness.
