Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...]in the first fifty-four years of JBL (1881-1935, vols. 1-54), book "reviews" were sporadic (e.g., vols. 9 and 10 contain none) and only occasionally resemble what we expect today. [...]in 1946, the book review editor, W. F. Albright, published an English abstract of a book review written in German by Walter Eichrodt (1890-1978) of H. Emerson Fosdick's A Guide to Understanding the Bible (New York: Harper, 1938). While the number of reviews has increased, the representation of women as reviewers and as authors of books reviewed in JBL remains low, despite some efforts to address that situation. [...]as we look back at JBL book reviews on this anniversary occasion, we are impressed by the enormous amount of material scholars have engaged, and mindful that the reviews represent only a very small portion of biblical scholarship worldwide.
