Elias Sacks publishes five articles in The Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception

Elias Sacks recently published five articles in volume 23 of The Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception (EBR), the first comprehensive research tool to fully explore the history of interpretation and reception of biblical themes, concepts, and figures in Judaism, Christianity, Islam, other religions, and the arts. His articles explore topics such as peace and peacemaking, Pentateuchal criticism, and peshat (the Bible's plain or straightforward sense). Sacks is also the modern Judaism editor for the EBR and recently served as the project's acting overall Judaism editor.
