Scribes were educated through apprenticeship rather than in schools. The prophet Isaiah, for example, has his "disciples"; Elisha has his "apprentice." This mode of learning emphasized the need to pass along the traditions of a community of practice rather than to individuate and invent. Schniedewind shows that it is anachronistic to impose our ideas about individual authorship and authors on the writing of the Bible. Ancient Israelites didn't live in books, he writes, but along dusty highways and byways. Who Really Wrote the Bible describes how scribes and their apprentices actually worked in ancient Jerusalem and Judah. 941 $a 1 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240702010937.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8603020E383811EFBB58162234ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
