From Babylon to Eternity: The Exile Remembered and Constructed in Text and Tradition
ISBN: 9781845533052 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 119 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "At a time when many volumes of collected essays are much larger in size, From Babylon to Eternity offers a refreshing change. At 113 pages the book is easily read in a handful of sittings. The effect of this continuous reading is something missed in larger topical collections. Reading the book through, the reader is taken through circles of interpretation starting closest to the event and working outward to matters of interpretation. These interpretations move from the event and its ancient traditions to modern interpretations. In this regard, the collection of essays certainly accomplishes...

Obadiah
ISBN: 9781910928097 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although Obadiah is the smallest book in the Hebrew Bible, its readers are confronted with a variety of challenges-linguistic, historical and hermeneutical. In the present volume the Book of Obadiah is approached from a variety of angles and reading strategies. These approaches sometimes concur, but often contradict one another. Bob Becking discusses various grammatical and linguistic problems of the Hebrew text in translating the book for a post-secular audience. Historical questions are the province of Nadav Na'aman. What were the 'events' with which the text seems to cope?...

Only One God?: Monotheism in Ancient Israel and the Veneration of the Goddess Asherah
ISBN: 9781841271996 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The view of ancient Israelite religion as monotheistic has long been traditional in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, religions that have elaborated in their own way the biblical image of a single male deity. But recent archaeological findings of texts and images from the Iron Age kingdoms of Israel and Judah and their neighbourhood offer a quite different impression. Two issues in particular raised by these are the existence of a female consort, Asherah, and the implication for monotheism; and the proliferation of pictorial representations that may contradict the biblical ban on images....

Out of Paradise: Eve and Adam and Their Interpreters
ISBN: 9781907534003 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This volume explores the afterlives of Eve and Adam beyond the Genesis story. How did they become such a prominent part of mainstream Christian thought and theology-and Jewish and Muslim tradition as well-, and what forms did their story take as it was told and retold? To investigate the traces of Eve and Adam through the centuries is to discover a surprising variety of interpretations. The chapters of this book come from eleven European scholars. Bob Becking writes on how the identity of the primaeval couple is constructed in Genesis, Geert van Oyen on Eve as a character in the New...

The Fall of Samaria: An Historical and Archaeological Study
ISBN: 9789004096332 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The fall of Samaria is narrated in 2 Kings 17. The cuneiform inscriptions dealing with this event are prima facie contradictory: the conquest is ascribed to both Shalmaneser V and Sargon II. The surmise of H. Tadmor that Samaria was conquered twice is investigated. At the same time the events are interpreted in their socio-historical framework.
Tadmor's assumption cannot be falsified, although his theory should be modified as regards the date of the first conquest: 723 B.C.E. The fall of Samaria can be interpreted as an inevitable result of the expansion of the Assyrian Empire in... The fall of Samaria is narrated in 2 Kings 17.

A Transverse Dreamer: Essays on the Book of Micah
ISBN: 9783111207834 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The final text of the Book of Micah provokes a series of questions: - Can the Book be read as a coherent composition or is it the result of a complex redaction history? - Was Micah a prophet of doom whose literary heritage was later softened by the inclusion of oracles of salvation? The essays in this book center around these questions. Some of them are of a more general character, while others analyze specific passages. Some articles discuss the Book of Micah by looking at specific themes (prophecy; religious polemics; metaphors). The others are concerned with the proclamation of a...

Psalms and Prayers: Papers Read at the Joint Meeting of the Society for Old Testament Study and Het Oud Testamentisch Werkgezelschap in Ne
ISBN: 9789004160323 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The essays in this volume focus on the interpretation of the Book of Psalms and comparable texts in the Hebrew Bible. A variety of methods is applied to the ancient texts. Some essays concentrate on composition and structure, others on redaction and context. It is of great interest to see that each approach has its strength and its limits: stressing the importance to read the Psalms with a multi-dimensional matrix of methods. By viewing the Psalms as prayers, and thus as expressions of both faith and despair, a perspective on the contents of the ancient hymns and their functions in daily life...

Orthodoxy, Liberalism, and Adaptation: Essays on Ways of Worldmaking in Times of Change from Biblical, Historical and Systematic Perspectives
ISBN: 9789004208698 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How does religion cope with changing situations? Are orthodoxy and liberalism really competing strategies? The essays in this volume argue three views. (1)Orthodoxy is not to be seen as the real and original form of a given religion, but as an idealized original form that should be construed as a construction in reaction to changes in time. (2) Over the ages, liberalism - despite its laudable strive for adaptation - has been less successful than generally assumed. This lesson from history can be quite important in view of the adaptation processes for Muslims in Western Europe. (3) Of great...

Reflections on the Silence of God: A Discussion with Marjo Korpel and Johannes de Moor
ISBN: 9789004258822 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In their recent book The Silent God, Marjo Korpel and Johannes de Moor presented a provocative view on the concept of divine silence in ancient Israel. In their view, divine silence can be explained as an answer to a variety of circumstances. Additionally, they opt for the view that divine silence needs to be answered by appropriate human conduct. The essays in this volume applaud and challenge their views from different perspectives: exegetical, ancient Near Eastern, semantic, philosophical etc. Some authors hint at the view that divine silence should be construed as an indication of...

Between Evidence and Ideology: Essays on the History of Ancient Israel Read at the Joint Meeting of the Society for Old Testament Study and the Oud T
ISBN: 9789004187375 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The historiography of Ancient Israel is much debated. The various approaches are never void of ideology and some reckon more with the available evidence than others. This volume consists of a set of case-studies that reveal the difficulties that arise when trying to write a history as honestly as possible. This implies that both the archaeology of Ancient Palestine - the finds and their interrogation - as well as the Philosophy of History - their models and their implications - are discussed. The outcome is a variety of approaches that inform the reader of current views on the history of...

STAR - Studies in Theology and Religion, 5 Papers Read at the First Meeting of the European Association for Biblical Studies, Utrecht, 6-9 August 2000 The Persian era in Ancient Israel's history is an intriguing period. The time span between Cyrus the Great and Alexander the Great was a theatre of shifts and changes. These changes are observable in daily life, in the organisation of society as well as in various religious phenomena. The essays in this volume originate from a seminar about developments and movements in the religion of Israel after the Exile, which was part of the first meeting...
