Mythology And Lament - Studies In The Oracles About The Nations

de John B. Geyer

74,19€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The oracles about the nations in Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel originate in the ancient Laments. Ultimately, they were preserved because of their relevance to the Year of Jubilee, with its origins in the New Year Festival; this study illuminates their intention. In Mythology and Lament, John Geyer shows the oracles belong to the sphere of worship, making a theological (mythological) statement, not a political one. Relating to current debates about the historicity of the Hebrew Bible, Geyer also provides a theological context to questions of conflict of nations and environmental debates.

'There'S Such Divinity Doth Hedge A King' - Selected Essays Of Nicolas Wyatt On Royal Ideology In Ugaritic And Old Testament Literature

de Nicolas Wyatt

68,89€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The ideology of power is as much a part of modern life as in the ancient world, in which it has its long-lasting roots. Communities have always provided a supernatural sanction for the maintenance of power by the few, often dressing it up in elaborate mythic fictions, rich iconography and complex rituals. This volume presents Nicolas Wyatt''s discussions of royal ideology, its mythic and ritual expressions and various literary treatments in ancient Israel, viewed from a comparative perspective. Exploring the possibility that in many of the manifestations of Israelite kingship we can detect the influence of broader cultural patterns, notably as found in Egyptian and West Semitic contexts, he considers the main early cultural influences on Israel and emphasizes the mythic dimension in which the ''divinity'' of the king is a real factor.

Samuel At The Threshold - Selected Works Of Graeme Auld

de Graeme Auld

68,89€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In this book, Graeme Auld brings together his work relating to Samuel and the Former Prophets in an invaluable single volume. Including ''Prophets through the Looking Glass'', which has been described as marking a paradigm shift in our thinking about the Bible''s ''writing prophets'', and which led the author to equally novel proposals about biblical narrative, the first part of this volume traces the route through the looking glass to his radical argument in Kings without Privilege (1994). The apparently straightforward, but actually controversial, claim is defended that the main source of the biblical books of Samuel-Kings and of Chronicles was simply the material common to both. The major portion of this volume of collected papers explores some of the fresh perspectives opened for reading the present books of Samuel, the books from Joshua to Kings as a whole, and the Pentateuch.

Saul And The Monarchy: A New Look

de Simcha Shalom Brooks

70,21€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The negative biblical presentation of King Saul of Israel has been biased in favour of David at the expense of Saul. This book presents a more positive picture and more realistic view of the culture of the period extending from Saul to the schism. Simcha Shalom Brooks explores a number of controversial issues such as the historicity of the biblical text on which so many modern scholars are sharply divided; that David was ambitious and coveted Saul''s throne, and even though David became king, the people continued to support the house of Saul. This book makes a valuable contribution to the current biblical debate as to the existence of ancient Israel in the Iron Age 1 Period. Simcha Shalom Brooks draws on literary, historical and archaeological material to present a balanced view of the period.

Personification Of Wisdom

de Alice M. Sinnott

74,19€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book examines the personification of Wisdom as a female figure - a central motif in Proverbs, Job, Sirach, Wisdom and Baruch. Alice M. Sinnott identifies how and why the complex character of Wisdom was introduced into the Israelite tradition, and created and developed by Israelite/Jewish wisdom teachers and writers. Arguing that by personifying Wisdom the authors of Proverbs responded to Israel''s defeat by Babylon and the loss of Davidic monarchy, and by retrieving and transforming the Wisdom figure the authors of Sirach, Baruch and Wisdom responded to the spread of Hellenism and the potential loss of identity for Jews. Sinnott concludes that personified Wisdom functioned to reinterpret and transform the Israelite/Jewish tradition.
