by Narelle Jane Coetzee

~~95,99€~~ 86,39€ 10% OFF

 Through an examination of four pivotal theophanic passages from Exodus (3:1-4:17, 19:1-20:21, 24:9-18, and 33:18-34), this book delves into the paradox of biblical wildernessa space marked by chaos and death, and simultaneously a place for Yahweh to appear. With a robust biblical framework, author Narelle Coetzee offers a working definition of wilderness and analyzes the geographical elements that shape these theophanic moments. She reveals how Yahwehs wilderness appearances underscore themes of intimacy, holiness, creativity, riskiness, and transformative communication. Each wilderness encounter reveals a God who is both wonder-filled and wild. The book invites readers to reconsider the relationship between geography and spirituality, offering theological insights into why Yahweh reveals himself in unexpected places.

Literary Allusions In Esther - A Study On The Convergence Of Intertexts And Narrative

by Jr. Ron Lindo e Jr., Ron Lindo

84,80€ + 10% CARD

 Literary Allusions in Esther: A Study on the Convergence of Intertexts and Narrative examines the robust intertextual nature of MT Esther. Its textual landscape is filled with a plethora of allusions to other texts scattered throughout the Old Testament canon. While these intertexts have often been identified individually, they have not always been considered a collective whole. By employing a new, eclectic method of exegetical analysis (Analogical Convergence), the author demonstrates one means by which these intertexts complement one another and converge with the authorial intention embedded into MT Esther. In Literary Allusions in Esther, Ron Lindo offers a nuanced and sophisticated engagement with the book of Esther. His survey of proposed intertexts in secondary literature is comprehensive yet accessiblea significant resource for Esther scholarship. Lindos discussion of method helpfully recognizes the place of authorial intention in many treatments of intertextuality in biblical studies, and the links he proposes between Esther and Jeremiah provide the basis for a compelling new account of Esthers thrust as a story. Literary Allusions in Esther makes important contributions to the field, and should feature in further discussions of the storys shape and the extent to which it interacts with other texts from antiquity. John Screnock, Tutor in Old Testament, Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford That Esther is a work which is composed with allusion to other texts is now increasingly recognized. This work makes an important contribution by establishing a disciplined method for understanding this and how both the surface text and its interaction with other texts in the Old Testament contribute to its meaning. Scholars working on Esther will need to engage with this disciplined and careful work. David G. Firth, Old Testament Tutor, Trinity College Bristol

The Moral World Of James - Setting The Epistle In Its Greco-Roman And Judaic Environments

by James Riley Strange

94,14€ + 10% CARD

 In The Moral World of James, James Riley Strange compares the moral system in the Epistle of James with other Greco-Roman and Judaic texts. The author of the epistle prescribed moral practices in a world in which other people, both pagan and Jewish, had long been expressing similar concerns, and more would continue to take up the task centuries after Christianity was well established in the Roman Empire. In this fresh and thick analysis, Stranges systemic comparison of texts (among them works of Plato, Plutarch, Epictetus, and Aelius Aristides, as well as Greek Magical Papyri, tractates of the Mishnah, and the Community Rule of the Dead Sea Scrolls) reveals how Jamess vision of a distinctive way of community life was both part of and distinct from the moral and religious systems among which it emerged.

A Word Fitly Spoken - Poetic Artistry In The First Four Acrostics Of The Hebrew Psalter

by Les D. Maloney

97,45€ + 10% CARD

 A Word Fitly Spoken explores significant poetic devices within the four alphabetic acrostic psalms found in Book I of the Psalter. The majority of scholarly opinion has been that these acrostics are poetically and artistically deficient due to the writers and editors preoccupation with the alphabetic pattern. In contrast to this view, A Word Fitly Spoken proposes that the acrostic pattern contributes to, rather than detracts from, the poetic artistry of these psalms. In an effort to promote a holistic, canonical reading of the four acrostic poems within Book I of the Psalter, this study also examines the linguistic and grammatical connections within the text. Such a close reading repeatedly demonstrates the emotive power and the imagination of this literature in contradiction to its supposedly stiff, wooden nature. A Word Fitly Spoken is attuned to the frequent plays on word and sound that occur throughout these four poems and as such would be useful in graduate courses on biblical interpretation, Hebrew poetry, or the Psalms.

The Case For A Proto-Gospel - Recovering The Common Written Source Behind Mark And John

by Gary Greenberg

115,67€ + 10% CARD

 In this landmark study of the literary relationship between the gospel of John and the synoptic gospels, Gary Greenberg presents compelling evidence for the existence of a written pre-canonical Alpha gospel that contained almost all of the main episodes in the adult life of Jesus (excluding major speeches, such as discourses, parables, and "I Am" sayings) and which became the written source for the core biography of Jesus in Mark, Luke, John, and Matthew. While Mark used the Alpha gospel with only slight variations, John had profound theological disagreements with it, objecting to its theological message about how to obtain eternal life, the depiction of Jesus, and other matters. This induced him to rewrite the Alpha gospel so that it conformed to his own very different theological agenda. Consequently, Johns gospel functions as a thorough theological critique of Mark, but the changes he introduced made it difficult to see how he and Mark worked from the same written source. By using Johns theological concerns as a filter for reading and understanding what objections John would have with Marks Jesus stories, The Case for a Proto-Gospel reverse-engineers the editorial path taken by John and reconstructs the content of the Alpha gospel. Finally, the author discusses the relationship of the other two synoptic gospels to the Alpha gospel, asserting that Luke also knew the Alpha gospel but used Mark as his primary source, and that while Matthew did not know the Alpha gospel, his use of Mark as a primary source ensured that his core biography of Jesus also derived from this earlier source. Overall, Greenbergs The Case for a Proto-Gospel is a fascinating work that contains ingenious ideas that introduce new possibilities for understanding John and for rethinking its relationship with the Synoptics. The monograph succeeds in highlighting the notable similarities and differences between the gospels, in stimulating discussions about the interpretation of specific Johannine passages, and in raising important questions about the composition of Johns Gospel that can only lead to a deepening of scholarly interest in the topic. Jonathan W. Lo, Review of Biblical Literature Greenbergs massive book will prove to be a useful conversation partner to all who are involved in the study of Johns relation to the synoptics and the larger discussion of the synoptic problem. I especially welcome Greenbergs attempt to draw the academic communitys attention to the extraordinary complexity of the data involved in the discussion. His ability to illustrate said complexity, even as the hypothesis of Johannine dependence on the synoptics is currently gaining momentum in the field, is why this book is so timely and necessary.

Invoking Yhwh In 1 Kings 12

by Maryann Amor

101,63€ + 10% CARD

 Invoking YHWH in 1 Kings 12 argues that invocations of YHWH have a number of functions in 1 Kings 12, dependent on the identities of the characters speaking, their relationships, and the narrative contexts in which they participate. This book adopts narrative criticism to undertake a close reading of 1 Kings 12 that pays particular attention to how the characters and the narrator use invocations of YHWH and the events in the plot that prompt or result from this language. Invoking YHWH in 1 Kings 12 highlights the exegetical importance of invocations of YHWH, which have yet to be engaged thoroughly in the field. Aimed at students and those with an interest in the academic study of the Bible, this books focus on invocations of YHWH raises new interpretations of 1 Kings 12. This study seeks to encourage scholarly attention toward invocations of YHWH that appear outside of these chapters, with the hope that such research will generate new ways of understanding the function of this language in the Bible.

The Breaking Of Bread And The Breaking Of Boundaries - A Study Of The Metaphor Of Bread In The Gospel Of Matthew

by Minkyu Lee

89,17€ + 10% CARD

 This book investigates the Matthean use of bread and the breaking of bread in light of cognitive conceptual metaphor, which are not only intertwined within Matthews narrative plots but also function to represent Matthews communal identity and ideological vision. The metaphor of bread and its cognitive concept implicitly connect to Israels indigenous sense of identity and religious imagination, while integrating the socio-religious context and the identity of Matthean community through the metaphoric action: breaking of bread. While using this metaphor as a narrative strategy, Matthew not only keeps the Jewish indigenous socio-religious heritage but also breaks down multiple boundaries of religion, ethnicity, gender, class, and the false prejudice in order to establish an alternative identity and ideological vision. From this perspective, this book presents how the Matthean bread functions to reveal the identity of Matthews community in-between formative Judaism and the Roman Empire. In particular, the book investigates the metaphor of bread as a source of Matthews rhetorical claim that represents its ideological vision for an alternative community beyond the socio-religious boundaries. The book also reviews Matthean contexts by postcolonial theories hybridity and third space subverting and deconstructing the hegemony of the dominant groups of formative Judaism and the imperial ideology of Rome.

From John Of Apamea To Marks Gospel - Two Dialogues With Thomasios: A Hermeneutical Reading Of Horá, Blép, And Theré

by Dempsey Rosales Acosta

77,84€ + 10% CARD

 From John of Apamea to Marks Gospel: Two Dialogues with Thomasios: A Hermeneutical Reading of Horá, Blép, and Theré combines two theological fields of investigation. The first is related to the Patristic theology of Eastern Syrian Christianity and the second resides in the field of Biblical theology. The research articulates the two fields, which complement each other through a logic exposition in that the theological conceptions of John of Apamea serve as the hermeneutical reading of the verbs of visual perception in the Markan Gospel. The first part expounds the problem related to the quest of the historical John of Apamea, an overview of the problem of his identity based upon the most important critical works attributed to him, proposing a plausible solution. The notion of the spiritual perception of the soul is intrinsically connected with the notion of «spiritual exegesis» and «spiritual senses», essential thoughts in the theology of the dialogues with Thomasios. Applying this methodological approach to the Scripture, the second part expounds the topic of the spiritual seeing in Marks Gospel. The section follows four expositive stages. The first consists of the semantic analysis of the Markan terminology and its psychological implications; the second analyzes the narrative portrait of the seeing of Jesus; the third examines briefly the seeing of the demons; the last stage considers the contemplative attitude of the women in the context of Christs passion, death, and resurrection. From John of Apamea to Marks Gospel is essential reading for scholars in Eastern Patristic theology, Biblical theology, and spiritual theology.

The Concept Of Divine Love In The Context Of The God-World Relationship

by John C. Peckham

 The Concept of Divine Love in the Context of the God-World Relationship addresses the significant and far-reaching theological conflict over the nature of Gods love, which is deeply rooted in broader conflicts regarding divine ontology and the nature of the God-world relationship. After engaging the traditional historical theology of love and recent exemplars of competing and influential conceptions of divine love, John C. Peckham seeks an alternative to the impasse by an extensive inductive investigation of the entire biblical canon in accordance with a final-form canonical approach to systematic theology, offering an alternative model of divine love that draws on the richness of the biblical text as canon and holds considerable implications for the God-world relationship.
