Vaughn 407 Bibliography 431 Indices 483 Preface Most of the essays in the present volume had their genesis as papers that were presented in the "Consultation on Jerusalem in Bible and Archae- ology" at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature. The papers were presented over a period of four years (1998-2001). The Con- sultation was co-chaired by Ann E. Killebrew and Andrew G. Vaughn, the editors of the volume. The steering committee for the Consultation (Melody Knowles, Gunnar Lehmann, William Schniedewind, and Tammi Schneider) also contributed to the selection of the components of the Con- sultation and subsequently of the present volume. Support for the present volume was provided by Gustavus Adolphus College through the funding of the following research assistants for Vaughn: Susan Schumacher helped edit all of the articles; Dan Pioske did proofreading and compiled the indexes; and Rachel Schwingler proofread the articles and the index. Vaughn's work was supported in part by a Research Scholarship and Creativity Grant from Gustavus Adolphus Col- lege. Killebrew would like to express her thanks to The Pennsylvania State University for providing her with a research semester in 2003, during which much of the final editorial work on this volume was completed. The editors are also indebted to the excellent editorial staff at the Society of Biblical Literature: Leigh Andersen, Kathie Klein, and Rex Matthews. Bob Buller served as copy editor and typesetter and went far beyond what was expected to make sure the volume looked as professional as possible. Finally, but certainly not least, appreciation is due to the series editor, Chris Matthews, for both his patience and guidance. Abbreviations PRIMARY SOURCES Ant. Josephus, Jewish Antiquities b.
