Joshua 1–12 volume 6b YY66559955..iinnddbb ii 55//1188//1155 1100::5599::0088 AAMM the anchor yale bible is a project of international and interfaith scope in which Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish scholars from many countries contribute individual volumes. Th e project is not sponsored by any ecclesiastical organiza- tion and is not intended to refl ect any particular theological doctrine. the anchor yale bible is committed to producing commentaries in the tradi- tion established half a century ago by the founders of the series, William Foxwell Albright and David Noel Freedman. It aims to present the best contemporary scholarship in a way that is accessible not only to scholars, but also to the edu- cated nonspecialist. Its approach is grounded in exact translation of the ancient languages and an appreciation of the historical and cultural contexts in which the biblical books were written, supplemented by insights from modern meth- ods, such as sociological and literary criticism.
