      abstract = {"The essays in this volume originate from the Third Qumran  Institute Symposium held at the University of Groningen,  December 2013. Taking the flexible concept of "cultural  encounter" as a starting point, the essays in this volume  bring together a panoply of approaches to the study of  various cultural interactions between the people of ancient  Israel, Judea, and Palestine and people from other parts of  the ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern world. In order  to study how cultural encounters shaped historical  development, literary traditions, religious practice and  political systems, the contributors employ a broad spectrum  of theoretical positions (e.g., hybridity, métissage,  frontier studies, postcolonialism, entangled histories and  multilingualism), to interpret a diverse set of literary,  documentary, archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic, and  iconographic sources"--},
