Legal Friction: Law, Narrative, and Identity Politics in Biblical Israel
ISBN: 9780820474625 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 1110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Legal Friction: Law, Narrative, and Identity Politics in Biblical Israel tracks the mystery of narratives in the Hebrew Bible and their allusions to Sinai laws by highlighting intertextual allusions created by verbal resonances. While the second and the third parts of the volume illustrate allusions to Sinai narratives made by some narratives occurring in the post-Sinaitic era, twenty-three Genesis narratives are analyzed to show that the protagonists were bound by Sinai Laws before God supposedly gave them to Moses, anticipating the Book of Jubilees. Legal Friction suggests...

Mother Zion in Deutero-Isaiah: A Metaphor for Zion Theology
ISBN: 9781433121579 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Mother Zion in Deutero-Isaiah: A Metaphor for Zion Theology offers the unique perspective that personified mother Zion in Deutero-Isaiah is not just a metaphor used for a rhetorical purpose but a cognitive metaphor representing Zion theology, a central theme in the Book of Isaiah. The author deftly combines the methods of metaphor theory and intertextuality to explain the vital but often overlooked conundrum that Zion in Deutero-Isaiah is an innocent mother, unlike the adulterous wife in other prophetic books. This interpretation offers a vital corrective to the view of women in the...

The Moral World of James: Setting the Epistle in Its Greco-Roman and Judaic Environments
ISBN: 9781433108815 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. 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, Strange s systemic comparison of texts (among them works of Plato, Plutarch, Epictetus, and Aelius Aristides, as well as Greek Magical Papyri,...

Moses and God in Dialogue: Exodus 32-34 in Postbiblical Literature
ISBN: 9780820469058 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In Exodus 32-34, through a series of dialogues, Moses persuades God to spare the Israelites from destruction after they have made and worshipped a golden calf. The significance of this passage was not lost on ancient interpreters. At the heart of their concerns was the relationship between Moses and God, as well as the extent to which the Divine could be swayed by human reason and passion. For some, the idea that God could be moved by human efforts was welcome, providing hope in difficult times. For others, it was alarming; after all, God was not only supposed to be all-powerful, but immune...

You Have Not Spoken What is Right about Me: Intertextuality and the Book of Job
ISBN: 9780820456522 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book, an intertextual study of the book of Job in general and the first cycle of poetic speeches in particular, addresses the dialogical character exhibited by the speeches of the book of Job a subject that prior Joban scholarship has failed to explore adequately. It seeks to establish intertextuality as a method by which one can profitably examine the biblical texts. By applying this method, the study argues that the speeches in Job deliberately employ references to biblical texts both from Job and from other books in order to present a debate concerning divine righteousness."

The Matthean Beatitudes in Their Jewish Origins: A Literary and Speech ACT Analysis
ISBN: 9781433115455 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 343 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Matthean Beatitudes in Their Jewish Origins: A Literary and Speech Act Analysis examines how Matthew used Jewish concepts as paradigmatic utterances for the Matthean community. In fact, the Gospel of Matthew was the most Jewish of the Synoptic Gospels, and Matthew s paradigm was the needed transition for understanding the role of the new community post-70 AD. The importance and role of Jewish concepts is evident in Matthew s work. More specifically, the literary nature of the Beatitudes demonstrates a composition that evolved from oral origins. Speech act theory is utilized to...

The Significance of the Ark Narrative: Literary Formation and Artistry in the Book of Chronicles
ISBN: 9781433106637 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Significance of the Ark Narrative: Literary Formation and Artistry in the Book of Chronicles argues that there is only one author responsible for the second part of the ark narrative (1 Chr 15-16). The lists and unique material that are found within the narrative play an important literary role in the work. Other parts of the book of Chronicles, such as the genealogies (1 Chr 1-9) and David s organization of the cult and civil servants (1 Chr 23-27) are also open to redaction criticism. The findings suggest that they also require a single author. This makes the role of the clergy...

God as an Absent Character in Biblical Hebrew Narrative: A Literary-Theoretical Study
ISBN: 9780820478289 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Although the Hebrew Bible as a whole is centered on God and God s relations with Israel, the character of God appears in most biblical stories only indirectly. How are modern readers to make sense of this paradox? God as an Absent Character in Biblical Hebrew Narrative establishes a set of literary methods that both academic and non-academic readers can use to understand the character of God, who is the single most important character in Hebrew Bible narrative and, strangely, absent from the majority of it."

Configurations of Rape in the Hebrew Bible: A Literary Analysis of Three Rape Narratives
ISBN: 9781433101670 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In Configurations of Rape in the Hebrew Bible, Frank M. Yamada explores the compelling similarity among three rape narratives found in the Hebrew Scriptures. These three stories the rape of Dinah (Genesis 34), the rape of an unnamed concubine (Judges 19), and the rape of Tamar, daughter of David (2 Samuel 13) move through the same plot progression: an initial sexual violation of a woman leads to escalating violence among men, resulting in some form of social fragmentation. In this intriguing study, Yamada draws from the disciplines of literary and narrative criticism, feminist biblical...

The New Covenant Torah in Jeremiah and the Law of Christ in Paul: Foreword by Roy B. Zuck
ISBN: 9780820481371 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book deals with the identity of the Torah that Yahweh promised he would write on the hearts of New Covenant participants, as prophesied in Jeremiah 31:33 and understood later in New Testament times by Paul. This theological and exegetical monograph is an invaluable reference work and textbook for all theological seminaries and Christian religious departments of universities worldwide. Pastors and virtually all Christians interested in reading or researching Paul and the subject of Gospel/law controversy in biblical studies will benefit from it.

Leviticus: The Priestly Laws and Prohibitions from the Perspective of Ancient Near East and Africa
ISBN: 9781433102004 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 434 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Whereas many books in this field deal with individual aspects or texts of the study of family laws, Leviticus: The Priestly Laws and Prohibitions from the Perspective of Ancient Near East and Africa examines extensively biblical texts, ancient Near Eastern text, and oral traditions from Africa. Thus, three different cultures converge: the world of the Hebrew Bible, the world of the ancient Near East, and the world of Africa. This volume examines in detail the history of the development of ancient laws in general and family laws in particular, especially the laws relating to marriages...

Rereading the «Shepherd Discourse»: Restoring the Integrity of John 9:39-10:21
ISBN: 9781433101908 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The history of scholarship narrates a complicated past for the interpretation of the -Shepherd Discourse- in the Fourth Gospel. Both the internal and contextual integrity of John 9:39-10:21 have been compromised by a misapplied analogy dividing the passage into a parable and explanation structure, and by reading models that favor historical approaches. As a result, the images and figures encountered in the discourse have not been allowed their full imaginative impact and the tendency is to look outside the Gospel for their referents and explanations. The meaning of the -Shepherd Discourse-...

Reading Green; Tactical Considerations for Reading the Bible Ecologically
ISBN: 9781433135347 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Reading Green: Tactical Considerations for Reading the Bible Ecologically operates on the premise that the Bible itself does not directly address the current ecological crisis and that expecting it to do so is anachronistic, for there was no ecological crisis on the agendas of biblical authors as they penned their works. The true challenge in the field is engaging biblical texts that do not present a positive ecological message (e.g., the stories of the flood and the plagues), or that seem to focus their messages so narrowly on human subjects and their interests that they...

Reading the Tapestry: A Literary-Rhetorical Analysis of the Johannine Resurrection Narrative (John 20-21)
ISBN: 9780820444444 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Reading the Tapestry proposes a literary-rhetorical, temporal process of reading the fourth Gospel s resurrection narrative (John 20-21) from the perspective of the implied reader in the text, according to the strategies of the implied author. Informed by narrative criticism and reader response criticism, Larry Darnell George unpacks the narrative and rhetorical devices of the three episodes and twelve scenes and argues that the entire resurrection narrative represents a finely woven tapestry, a coherent unified narrative text on its own terms and as it now stands."

The (Im)Polite Jesus; An Analysis of Jesus' Verbal Rudeness in Matthew's Gospel

This book is an informed, focused, deep, and creative analysis of the topic of (im)politeness applied to Jesus in Matthew s Gospel, with in-depth conclusions and analysis about the Matthean Jesus (im)politeness. This study utilizes innovative methodological approaches regarding the analysis and interpretation of the subject in Matthew s Gospel, finding similarities with the language and (im)polite engagements of other first-century Greco-Roman characters and the Matthean Jesus in similar contexts.
