(I'm speaking now to
all of you who are reading this post). This is the revised and updated edition, 2011. There has been so much that has changed since 2011. Not nearly as much as in other fields, though. When I first became aware of e-books and other e-media, I envisioned one of the benefits being that authors and publishers of non-fiction would be constantly updating those products, and providing the updates more-or-less free! No more old editions of
World Book and such! Of course, I was living in a fantasy land--It appears that little has changed in regard to non-fiction ebooks staying up-t-date.
Probably archaeological news changes more than anything else in Biblically-related fields. If you're interested in Biblical archaeology, may I recommend that you get a
Biblical Archaeology Review (BAR) subscription to supplement this dictionary, if you don't have one already? The magazine also covers other Bible-related news and such, too.
Hershel Shanks, who I'm thinking had been editor since the beginning of the magazine years ago, retired fairly recently. It remains to be seen what changes that the new guy will make. One thing that I noticed in the last issue is that almost all of the first half of the magazine had little to do with archaeology! But that may have happened in issues of this magazine with Shanks at the helm, and I didn't notice it; I'm sure that I'm looking for what has changed with this editor over the last one, maybe even subconsciously.
(Speaking to Difflugia, now). Another thing that you often beat me at is being succinct.
