So Many Papers, So Little Time!
Charles at Awilum reports on Karel van der Toorn's paper, "From Catalogue to Canon? An Assessment of the Library Hypothesis as a Contribution to the Debate about the Biblical Canon" in Bibliotheca Orientalis 63.1-2 (Jan-Apr 2006), 5-15 (subscription required). The paper been around for a few years but it sounds like it deserves more attention than I think it has received. Take a look at what Charles has to say and then take a look at the paper but like me, unless you subscribe to Bibliotheca Orientalis, you'll need to go to the library.
And then Jim at Ketuvim reports on Irene Winter’s “Touched by the Gods: Visual Evidence for the Divine Status of Rulers in the Ancient Near East” in Religion and Power: Divine Kingship in the Ancient World and Beyond, OIS 4, 2008, 75-102, (free online) and its implications for divine kingship at Ugarit. I think Jim is correct in his interpretation but go check it out for yourself.
