The Siege Perilous: Essays in Biblical Anthropology and Ancient Religion
A serious mid-20th-century scholarly work by S. H. Hooke, a leading figure in comparative religion and biblical anthropology. The Siege Perilous brings together essays examining ancient Near Eastern ritual, myth, kingship, and their relationship to biblical texts. Hooke was closely associated with the Myth and Ritual School, and this volume reflects the academic movement that sought to place the Bible within its broader ancient cultural and religious context rather than treating it in isolation.
Published by SCM Press in 1956, this work is aimed at theologians, historians of religion, and readers interested in the intersection of archaeology, anthropology, and biblical studies. A solid, intellectually rigorous title that continues to be cited in discussions of ritual theory and early biblical interpretation.
