ISBN: 9780060630041 / Angielski / Miękka / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Renowned biblical sleuth and scholar Richard Elliot Friedman reveals the first work of prose literature in the world-a 3000-year-old epic hidden within the books of the Hebrew Bible.

Water from the Well is a journey four thousand years back to the time of Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah. The graceful prose of renowned author Anne Roiphe brilliantly captures these biblical women and makes their fascinating stories come alive.

This remarkable volume demonstrates how... Water from the Well is a journey four thousand years back to the time of Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah. The graceful prose of renowned ... |

Job the Silent : A Study in Historical Counterpoint
ISBN: 9780195058963 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Offering an original reading of the book of Job, one of the great literary classics of biblical literature, this book develops a new analogical method for understanding how biblical texts evolve in the process of transmission. Zuckerman argues that the book of Job was intended as a parody protesting the stereotype of the traditional righteous sufferer as patient and silent. He compares the book of Job and its fate to that of a famous Yiddish short story, "Bontsye Shvayg," another covert parody whose protagonist has come to be revered as a paradigm of innocent Jewish suffering. Zuckerman uses...

When Brothers Dwell Together : The Preeminance of Younger Siblings in the Hebrew Bible
ISBN: 9780195082531 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although primogeniture is commonly assumed to have prevailed throughout the world and firstborns are regarded as most likely to achieve success, many of the most prominent figures in biblical literature are younger offspring, including Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Samuel, David, and Solomon. Adducing evidence from a wide range of disciplines, this study demonstrates that ancient Israelite fathers were free to choose their primary heirs. Rather than being either legally mandated or a protest against the prevailing norm, the Bible's propensity for younger offspring conforms to a widespread folk...

The Names of God : Poetic Readings in Biblical Beginnings
ISBN: 9780195109658 / Angielski / Twarda / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the sequel to the author's iconoclastic Toward a Grammar of Biblical Poetics (Oxford, 1992), in which Brichto argues for the aesthetic wholeness of the Hebrew Bible, and the consistency of Scripture's preachment on God, nature, and the human condition--in direct opposition to current source criticism, which maintains that inconsistencies within the text support an atomistic reading of multiple authors. In The Names of God, Brichto brings us his "poetic" reading of Scripture to the Book of Genesis. Using contemporary methods and insights of literary criticism, he...

Israel in Egypt : The Evidence for the Authenticity of the Exodus Tradition
ISBN: 9780195130881 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Scholars of the Hebrew Bible have in the last decade begun to question the historical accuracy of the Israelite sojourn in Egypt, as described in the book of Exodus. The reason for the rejection of the exodus tradition is said to be the lack of historical and archaeological evidence in Egypt. Those advancing these claims, however, are not specialists in the study of Egyptian history, culture, and archaeology. In this pioneering book, James Hoffmeier examines the most current Egyptological evidence and argues that it supports the biblical record concerning Israel in Egypt.

Writing the Wrongs : Women of the Old Testament among Biblical Commentators from Philo through the Reformation
ISBN: 9780195137361 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Phyllis Trible's Texts of Terror is a landmark among those studying women of the Bible. Focusing on stories of the maltreatment of women, Trible paved the way for subsequent feminist exegetes who have been very critical of such stories in the Bible, and who see Christianity as an unredeemably patriarchal religion. It is commonly said that these Old Testament stories of rape, murder, torture, and abandonment passed without comment until recent times. Here, Thompson traces and analyzes various Christian interpretations of these bible stories of women. In drawing attention to views...

Genesis as Dialogue : A Literary, Historical, and Theological Commentary
ISBN: 9780195138368 / Angielski / Twarda / 614 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Recent years have seen a remarkable surge in interest in the book of Genesis - the first book of the Hebrew Bible, and a foundational text of Western culture. In this new commentary, Thomas Brodie offers a complete and accessible overview of Genesis from literary, theological, and historical standpoints. Brodie's work is organized around three main ideas. The first is that the primary subject of Genesis is human existence; the second is that Genesis' basic organizational unity is binary, or diptych. Brodie argues that the entire book is composed of diptychs - accounts which, like some...

Fixing God's Torah : The Accuracy of the Hebrew Bible Text in Jewish Law
ISBN: 9780195141139 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Hebrew text of the Torah has never been finalized down to the last letter. This is important not least because Jewish law requires that Torah scrolls read publicly in the synagogue be error-free. Jewish scribes, scholars, and legal authorities have sought to overcome or narrow these differences, but to this day have not completely succeeded in doing so. This book offers an in-depth study of how rabbinic leaders of the past two millennia have dealt with questions about the text's accuracy, presenting numerous authoritative rabbinic sources, many translated here for the first time.

A Law Book for the Diaspora : Revision in the Study of the Covenant Code
ISBN: 9780195153156 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The foundation for all study of biblical law is the assumption that the Covenant Code is the oldest legal code in the Hebrew Bible and that all other laws are revisions of that code. This book sets forth the radical hypothesis that those laws in the covenant code that are similar to Deuteronomy and the Holiness Code are in fact later than both of these, and therefore can't be taken as the foundation of Hebrew Law.

Oracles of God is a study of ideas about ancient prophecy current in Judaism and Christianity from the Exile to the end of the New Testament period.

The Rhetoric of Suffering : Reading the Book of Job in the Eighteenth Century
ISBN: 9780198182641 / Angielski / Twarda / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Rhetoric of Suffering provides a fresh approach to such topics as the rise of the novel, sociability of sentiment, and the communitarian emphasis in eighteenth-century literature. Lamb draws on the Book of Job as a touchstone for the contradictions and polemics found in various eighteenth-century works--poetry, philosophy, political oratory, accounts of exploration, commentaries on criminal law--which try to account for the relations between human suffering and systems of secular and divine justice. Deliberately downplaying questions of chronology or discursive coherence, genre, or topic,...

Saint Jerome's Hebrew Questions on Genesis
ISBN: 9780198263500 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Jerome was one of the very few early Christian scholars to know any Hebrew. This new edition of his Questions on Genesis includes an introduction, translation, and commentary to reveal a fascinating work showing a Christian working alongside Jews in an age very different from our own. Jerome's influence on the Church is well known--but this work is equally important for the light thrown on the history and origin of many ideas at the heart of the Jewish tradition.

The Pentateuch in the Twentieth Century : The Legacy of Julius Wellhausen
ISBN: 9780198269588 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book arises from the conviction that much in current research on the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old Testament) needs to be subjected to rigorous scrutiny and that much is radically mistaken. Dr Nicholson argues that the work of Julius Wellhausen just over a century ago, though in need of revision and development, remains the securest basis for understanding the Pentateuch.

Interpretations of the Name Israel in Ancient Judaism and Some Early Christian Writings : From Victorious Athlete to Heavenly Champion
ISBN: 9780199242375 / Angielski / Twarda / 397 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ancient peoples regarded names as indicative of character and destiny. The Jews were no exception. All Jews descended from Jacob, who was given the name Israel. The Bible seemed to explain this name as having to do with struggle. But generations following the Bible found in Israel references to seeing God, singing, ruling, being upright, angelic qualities, and much more besides. This book examines those explanations, and attempts to show how they came to be adopted and why.
