His students include most of the prominent archaeologists of the later 20th and early 21st century in the United States and Israel, among them G. E. Wright, N. Glueck, and B. Maisler (Mazar) . He also trained such eminent biblicists and Semiticists as J. Bright, F. M. Cross, D. N. Freedman, and W. Moran. Albright was the foremost biblical archaeologist of modern times, combining a devotion to evangelical Christianity with a scientific approach to the problems of archaeology and the Bible. ” (EJ) CONTENTS: “William Foxwell Albright: a personal appreciation, ” by Wendell Phillips; “Passive and ergative in Hebrew, ” by Francis I.
