I received news that Professor Anson Rainey died on Saturday, February 19, 2011. Professor Rainey was Emeritus Professor of Ancient Near Eastern Cultures and Semitic Linguistics at Tel Aviv University.

Professor Rainey was a scholar who specialized in the Hebrew Bible and the Ancient Near East. He was a prolific writer with important works in the areas of biblical studies, historical geography, and the cultures and languages of the Ancient Near East.

Those who are not familiar with the works of Professor Rainey should read his Curriculum Vitae and his list of publications. They are posted here.
