As a whole, Adoption in the Hebrew Bible highlights the prevalence of adoptive practices and draws attention to the fluidity underlying constructions of ‘family’ in the Hebrew Bible and also the wider ancient Near East. The theme of adoption centres both parents and children, thereby complicating scholarly constructions of families in ancient societies and reminding readers of the fragility, strength, and importance of belonging in a family.
Ekaterina Kozlova is Old Testament Lecturer at the London School of Theology, UK. Cat Quine is Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible at the University of Nottingham, UK.
