Over 1,000 scholars—representingJewish ,Catholic ,Eastern Orthodox ,Protestant ,Muslim ,secular , and other traditions—have contributed to the project.[ 1] theological spectrum.
As of 2008,[update] David Noel Freedman (1956–2008), and subsequently underJohn J. Collins (2008–2025). Each volume was originally published byDoubleday (a division ofRandom House, Inc. ), but in 2007, the series was acquired byYale University Press . Yale now prints all new volumes as theAnchor Yale Bible Series , while continuing to offer all previously published Anchor Bible titles as well.[ 1] [ 2] Candida Moss was announced as the new general editor of the series.[ 3]
Anchor Bible Commentary Series [ edit ] TheAnchor Bible Commentary Series , created under the guidance ofWilliam Foxwell Albright (1891–1971), comprises a translation andexegesis of theHebrew Bible , theNew Testament and the Intertestamental Books (theCatholic andEastern Orthodox Deuterocanon /the ProtestantApocrypha ; not the books called by Catholics and Orthodox "Apocrypha", which are widely called by Protestants "Pseudepigrapha "). For each biblical book, the series includes an original translation with translational and text-critical notes; overviews of the historical, critical, and literary evolution of the text; an outline of major themes and topics; a verse-by-verse commentary; treatment of competing scholarly theories; historical background; and photographs, illustrations, and maps of artifacts and places associated with biblical figures and sites. Depending on the size and complexity of the book, some are covered in more than one volume.
The series has produced over 100 titles since the release of the first volume in the early 1960s. Despite boasting at least one volume on every book of the Hebrew Bible, New Testament, and Deuterocanon/Apocrypha, the series remains a work in progress. Revisions and replacements of earlier works continue to be released, and at least a half-dozen volumes are currently under contract or in production.
Anchor Bible Dictionary [ edit ] The ABD TheAnchor Bible Dictionary contains more than 6,000 entries from 800 international scholars. It has illustrations and line-art throughout, and is also available for download fromLogos Bible Software orAccordance Bible Software. The "Dictionary" includes articles on theDead Sea Scrolls , early Jewish-Christian relations, the historical Jesus, sociological and literary methods of biblical criticism, feminist hermeneutics, and numerous entries on archaeological sites, as well as bibliographies with citations listed individually at the end of each article.
Anchor Bible Reference Library [ edit ] TheAnchor Bible Reference Library is an open-ended series composed of more than thirty separate volumes with information about anthropology, archaeology, ecology, geography, history, languages, literature, philosophy, religions, and theology, among others.
