Song Of Songs - A Commentary

by Berlin Adele Berlin

~~78,16€~~ 62,53€ 20% OFF

 There is no other book in the Bible like the Song of Songs. It is a highly literate collection of love poems, at times intense with erotic desire and at times playful or flirtatious. This commentary draws out the tone of each poem, along with its language and literary qualities, including its metaphors, allusions, and clever use of words.While there are correspondences between the Song and the literatures of Egypt and Mesopotamia, and they are cited in the commentary, the greatest foreign influence on the book comes from Greece. The commentary approaches the Song as a Jewish-Hellenistic work, in the full sense of that hyphenated term. It notes Greek ideas and tropes that appear throughout the book and shows how they have been adjusted and incorporated into Jewish thought and literary forms. The book''s Grecisms are dressed in "biblical" idioms and imagery. Going beyond previous studies, this volume emphasizes that the Song''s blending together of the Jewish and the Greek is part of its literary virtuosity.

Jonah - A Commentary

by Niditch Susan Niditch

~~51,66€~~ 41,33€ 20% OFF

 In the new Hermeneia volume, the Jonah translation and commentary, renowned biblical scholar Susan Niditch encourages the reader to investigate challenging questions about ancient conceptions of personal religious identity.Jonah's story is treated as a complex reflection upon the heavy matters of life and death, good and evil, and human and divine relations. The narrative probes an individual's relationship with a demanding deity, considers vexing cultural issues of "us versus them," and examines the role of Israel's god in a universal and international context. The author examines the ways in which Jonah prods readers to contemplate these fundamental issues concerning group- and self-definition.In her technical study of Jonah's language, style, structure, content, and context, Niditch examines the text through the comparative lens of international folklore. The thread of appropriations of Jonah by post-biblical writers and artists is explored, and special attention is paid to rabbinic midrash, medieval Jewish manuscript illuminations, and Christian art of late antiquity. And in the tradition of Hermeneia volumes, the commentary evaluates and incorporates the insights of a long legacy of scholars who have explored this venerable text from varied perspectives.

Judges 1 - A Commentary On Judges 1:1 – 10:5

by Bloch-Smith Elizabeth M. Bloch-Smith

~~74,19€~~ 59,35€ 20% OFF

 <a id="_dx_frag_StartFragment"></a>This groundbreaking volume presents a new translation of the text and detailed interpretation of almost every word or phrase in the book of Judges, drawing from archaeology and iconography, textual versions, biblical parallels, and extrabiblical texts, many never noted before. Archaeology also serves to show how a story of the Iron II period employed visible ruins to narrate supposedly early events from the so-called "period of the Judges." The synchronic analysis for each unit sketches its characters and main themes, as well as other literary dynamics. The diachronic, redactional analysis shows the shifting settings of units as well as their development, commonly due to their inner-textual reception and reinterpretation. The result is a remarkably fresh historical-critical treatment of 1:1-10:5.<a id="_dx_frag_EndFragment"></a>

Jubilees - The Hermeneia Translation

by Vanderkam James C. Vanderkam

~~22,51€~~ 18,01€ 20% OFF

 The book of Jubilees was written by a Jewish author in the second century BCE. Although no original copies of the manuscript remain, the fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls confirmed the general accuracy of later copies and suggested important amendments. The text retraces the book of Genesis and parts of Exodus and thus is one of the earliest sustained commentaries on the narratives presented in those texts. The translation in this volume is drawn from the author's monumental two-volume work in the Hermeneia commentary series and takes into account all of the textual data now available. The translation is accompanied by carefully selected notes that illuminate the text and is ideal for classroom use.

Proverbs 1-15

by Schipper Bernd U. Schipper

~~59,61€~~ 47,69€ 20% OFF

 <a id="_dx_frag_StartFragment"></a>The book of Proverbs is more than the sum of its parts. Even if some individual proverbs and collections could be older, the overall composition stems from the late Persian or early Hellenistic period. In its present form, the book of Proverbs introduces the scribal student to the foundations of sapiential knowledge and its critical reflection. By discussing different worldviews and contrasting concepts on the relationship between God, the world, and humanity, the book of Proverbs paves the way to both the critical wisdom of Job and Ecclesiastes and the masterful combination of Wisdom and Torah in Sirach. Scholarly research has long situated the book of Proverbs within ancient Near Eastern literature but declared it to be something "alien" within the Hebrew Bible. In contrast to such a position, the present commentary interprets the book of Proverbs against the background of both ancient Near Eastern literature and the literature of the Hebrew Bible. One aim of the commentary is to discuss new ancient Near Eastern parallels to the book of Proverbs, with a special focus on Egyptian wisdom literature, including Demotic texts from the sixth to fourth centuries BCE. An equally important aim of this commentary is a detailed exegesis of Proverbs 1-15 as well as an analysis of the overarching strategy of the book of Proverbs as a whole. Taking the prologue of the book in Prov 1:1-7 as a hermeneutical key, the book of Proverbs turns out to be a masterful composition addressing both the beginner and the advanced sage. With its allusions to other biblical texts, including the book of Deuteronomy, the Psalms and the Prophets, the book of Proverbs can be connected to forms of scribal exegesis in Second Temple literature. By using the same scribal techniques as other literati of his time, the scribal sage responsible for some parts of the book as well as its final compilation seeks to provide deeper insight into the complex world of scribal knowledge and sapiential thought.<a id="_dx_frag_EndFragment"></a>

Judith

by Wills Lawrence M. Wills

~~68,89€~~ 55,11€ 20% OFF

 <a id="_dx_frag_StartFragment"></a>Judith tells the story of a beautiful Jewish woman who enters the tent of an invading general, gets him drunk, and then slices off his head, thus saving her village and Jerusalem. This short novella was somewhat surprisingly included in the early Christian versions of the Old Testament and has played an important role in the Western tradition ever since. This commentary provides a detailed analysis of the text's composition and its meaning in its original historical context, and thoroughly surveys the history of Judith scholarship. Lawrence M. Wills not only considers Judith's relation to earlier biblical texts--how the author played upon previous biblical motifs and interpreted important biblical passages--but also addresses the rise of Judith and other Jewish novellas in the context of ancient Near Eastern and Greek literature, as well as their relation to cross-cultural folk motifs. Because of the popularity of Judith in art and culture, this volume also addresses the book's history of interpretation in paintings, sculpture, music, drama, and literature. A number of images of artistic depictions of Judith are included and discussed in detail.<a id="_dx_frag_EndFragment"></a>

Sólo Para Mujeres

by Clarice Lispector

~~20,33€~~ 16,26€ 20% OFF

free shipping

 Continuación en cierta manera de Correo femenino, Sólo para mujeres recoge 290 crónicas publicadas, sobre todo, entre 1959 y 1961, cuando Clarice regresa a Río de Janeiro recién divorciada y comienza a trabajar escribiendo para la prensa. Venía de vivir ocho años en Washington, donde fue testigo del conservadurismo social de la década de los cincuenta y donde leyó abundante prensa femenina de la época, que resonará en sus propias columnas. Pero a diferencia de su producción periodística para el Jornal do Brasil, Clarice Lispector no firmó con su nombre estos textos. Tras los nombres inventados de Tereza Quadros y Helen Palmer, o tras el nombre de la famosa actriz brasileña Ilka Soares, se esconde Clarice en estos artículos, en los que abordará cuestiones relacionadas con la belleza, el amor, la maternidad y la vida doméstica. En este libro divertido y práctico, un auténtico almanaque de aquella época, la escritora nos muestra que, a pesar de las conquistas actuales de la mujer, la esencia femenina permanece siempre igual.
