Pekka Pitkänen's Old Testament Studies Site

"This site is dedicated to Old Testament studies for students and scholars. The focus is on the history of Israel, especially during the time before the monarchy. Special emphasis is also placed on archaeology and ancient Near Eastern studies as they relate to Old Testament studies and to the history of Israel. Overall, a positive approach is taken towards biblical traditions, without however shirking from problems involved. Please note that this is a statement of purpose (as from July 2002), and it is expected that it will take considerable time to build the site to an extensive scale. It is the author''s hope that you as a visitor to this site find its contents useful."
