«Archaeology and the Old Testament» en The Jerome Biblical Commentary for the Twenty-First Century. (2021)
Author: José E. Balcells Gallarreta
Resumen de la editorial:
The Jerome Biblical Commentary has, since 1968, been essential reading for all who wish to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Bible. It is a landmark of biblical scholarship, the first port of call for priests, preachers, students and scholars, and all those lay people who like to keep a one-volume Biblical commentary in their home to enlighten their reading of the scriptures.
In this new fully revised edition, the publication of which has been welcomed by Pope Francis (who has also written the foreword), the entire content of the commentary has been revised to bring it up-to-date with the very latest scholarship, featuring the leading international scholars of our day. Whilst based on the historical critical method of Biblical study, the contributors draw in a range of more contemporary approaches to the biblical texts. The pool of contributors has also been broadened outside north America and Western Europe to include a more diverse range of perspectives, ensuring that the Jerome speaks more comprehensively to a global Church. The ‘General Articles’ section has been revised to include articles on new approaches to the study of the bible and on the interpretation of the bible in diverse pastoral contexts.

Household and Family Religion in Persian-Period Judah: An Archaeological Approach (2017)
Autor: José E. Balcells Gallarreta
Este estudio introduce la idea que aunque información en textos es extremadamente útil para entender las practicas y rituales domésticos y familiares en el Levante durante el período persa, esto no puede ser visto como normativo ya que deja afuera del circulo académico a las familias y esto pasa por alto la arqueología que existe. Este estudio investiga los artefactos rituales durante el período persa Tell en-Nasbeh en sus contextos originales, como un modelo que provee un entendimiento más profundo de las ideas y practicas religiosas de familias en Judá durante el período persa. A diferencia de investigaciones académicas que se han enfocado en la religión oficial o del estado, este estudio usa la arqueología de la religión en contextos domésticos para revelar la existencia de religión y rituales domésticos en Tell en-Nasbeh durante el período persa, junto con otros yacimientos contemporáneos en Yehud. La data arqueológica de Tell en-Nasbeh y otros yacimientos en la región del Shefela en Yehud demuestra que rituales y religión familiar y doméstica fueron practicadas en Judá durante el período persa.
