Another work, Meeting in Heaven, was published by Peter Lang in 2011.^[3] In conjunction with the Society for Old Testament Study (of which he is an Honorary Member)^[4] a volume of his essays entitled Hebrew Life and Literature was published in 2008 by Ashgate Publishing and subsequently republished by Routledge.^[5]
