In his new book, master Bible scholar and teacher Marc Brettler argues that today's contemporary readers can only understand the ancient Hebrew Scripture by knowing more about the culture that produced it.

Jerome, Greek Scholarship, and the Hebrew Bible: A Study of the Quaestiones Hebraicae in Genesim
ISBN: 9780198147275 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jerome (c. 345-420) was one of the greatest biblical scholars of antiquity. Among his achievements was his Latin translation of the Bible "according to the Hebrew," or iuxta Hebraeos. In this study, Adam Kamesar considers the origin of this project through an analysis of the Quaestiones Hebraicae in Genesim, a commentary on the book of Genesis published at approximately the same time as the first installments of the translation. Providing a look at the man and the work behind one of the most important Bibles in the history of the West, this study will be of keen interest to classicists,...

This first full-scale account of Leviticus by a world renowned anthropologist presents the biblical work as a literary masterpiece.

This completely new reading transforms the interpretation of the purity laws. The pig and other forbidden animals are not abhorrent, they command the same respect due to all God's creatures. Boldly challenging several traditions of Bible criticism,...

The Book Called Isaiah: Deutero-Isaiah's Role in Composition and Redaction
ISBN: 9780198263609 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book represents a highly original, major new contribution to one of the most important and hotly contested issues concerning the book of Isaiah: who wrote it. The author's provocative and important conclusions point to the key role from beginning to end of the so-called "Deutero-Isaiah," hitherto believed to have been merely the author of chapters 40-50. Williamson's book, based on a more rigorous methodology than ever before attempted, sheds much new light on many passages of Isaiah, and is certain to have significant influence on all future work on the subject.

The School Tradition of the Old Testament: The Bampton Lectures for 1994
ISBN: 9780198263623 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The books of the Old Testament are often thought of as being remote and "primitive" in comparison to other biblical literature. In fact, they were written by thoroughly learned men, educated in the traditional schools of ancient Israel. This book presents a fresh and enlivening case for the strong influence which this schooling must have had on the writers of the stories, poetry, and proverbs of the Bible.

Wisdom-Laws: A Study of the Mishpatim of Exodus 21:1-22:16
ISBN: 9780198269311 / Angielski / Twarda / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We think of law as rules whose words are binding, used by the courts in the adjudication of disputes. Bernard S. Jackson explains that early biblical law was significantly different, and that many of the laws in the Covenant Code in Exodus should be viewed as "wisdom-laws." By this term, he means "self-executing" rules, the provisions of which permit their application without recourse to the law-courts or similar institutions. They thus conform to two tenets of the "wisdom tradition": that judicial dispute should be avoided, and that the law is a type of teaching, or "wisdom."

Verbal Syntax in the Greek Pentateuch: Natural Greek Usage and Hebrew Interference
ISBN: 9780198270102 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book, the first study of verbal syntax to address the entire Greek Pentateuch, investigates the value of these translations as evidence for the history of the Greek language. The nature and degree of Hebrew interference are assessed, including analysis of Hebrew text components underlying all Greek verbal forms in the Pentateuch. This data allows new conclusions to be drawn on natural Greek usage of aspect, tense, and mood. Their implications extend well beyond the special issues of translation Greek, casting significant light on the development of the verbal system in the Koine period,...

ISBN: 9780198299929 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mein aims to set Ezekiel's ethics firmly in the social and historical context of the Babylonian Exile. Ezekiel's moral concerns and priorities, Mein suggests, are substantially shaped by the social experience of deportation and resettlement. They also represent a creative response to the crisis, providing significant impetus for social cohesion and the maintenance of a distinctively Jewish community.

Jacob's Tears: The Priestly Work of Reconciliation
ISBN: 9780199265237 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Who is Israel? Who were the priestly authors of the Pentateuch? This anthropological reading of the Bible, by a world-renowned scholar, starts by asking why the Book of Numbers lists the twelve tribes of Israel seven times. Mary Douglas argues that the editors, far from being a separate elite unconcerned with their congregation's troubles, cherished a political agenda, a religious protest against the government of Judah's exclusionary policies. The priestly theology depends on God's Covenant with all the descendants of Jacob, including the sons of Joseph. It would have been unpatriotic, even...

ISBN: 9780226323985 / Angielski / Miękka / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cuneiform records made some three thousand years ago are the basis for this essay on the ideas of death and the afterlife and the story of the flood which were current among the ancient peoples of the Tigro-Euphrates Valley. With the same careful scholarship shown in his previous volume, The Babylonian Genesis, Heidel interprets the famous Gilgamesh Epic and other related Babylonian and Assyrian documents. He compares them with corresponding portions of the Old Testament in order to determine the inherent historical relationship of Hebrew and Mesopotamian ideas.

Thinking Biblically: Exegetical and Hermeneutical Studies
ISBN: 9780226713434 / Angielski / Miękka / 441 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Unparalled in its poetry, richness, and religious and historical significance, the Hebrew Bible has been the site and center of countless commentaries, perhaps none as unique as "Thinking Biblically." This remarkable collaboration sets the words of a distinguished biblical scholar, Andre LaCocque, and those of a leading philosopher, Paul Ricoeur, in dialogue around six crucial passages from the Old Testament: the story of Adam and Eve; the commandment "thou shalt not kill"; the valley of dry bones passage from Ezekiel; Psalm 22; the Song of Songs; and the naming of God in Exodus 3:14....

Faithful Renderings: Jewish-Christian Difference and the Politics of Translation
ISBN: 9780226745060 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Faithful Renderings reads translation history through the lens of Jewish Christian difference and, conversely, views Jewish Christian difference as an effect of translation. Subjecting translation to a theological-political analysis, Seidman asks how the charged Jewish Christian relationship and more particularly the dependence of Christianity on the texts and translations of a rival religion has haunted the theory and practice of translation in the West.
Bringing together central issues in translation studies with episodes in Jewish Christian history, Naomi Seidman considers a... Faithful Renderings reads translation history through the lens of Jewish Christian difference and, conversely, views Jewish Christian differenc...

King and Messiah
ISBN: 9780227170571 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume gives a glimpse into debate in Scandinavia concerning a number of inter-related Biblical concepts, a debate associated with scholars such as Mowinckel, Pedersen, Widengren and Bentzen himself. The argument starts from the present Messiah of many of the Psalms, representing a demythologized form of the Oriental conception of kingship. The next stage is the eschatologized -Messianic- figure of the prophetic thought of Isaiah and Micah. Later the prophet--Messiah- of the Second Isaiah, still a present and entirely human figure, embodies the insight that the saviour of Israel must...
