Book Description
This monograph contains an analysis of the text-internal reader in Isaiah 6-12. For that purpose, two modern literary methods are incorporated in Old Testament Exegesis. First, the research makes use of text-linguistics, so it is explicitly based on the idiom of Biblical Hebrew. Next, the domain analysis provides a means of outlining communicative situations between characters, implied author and implied reader, in accordance with various diagrams. This research shows that the implied reader is involved in the communication evoked by the text. Not only is the implied reader manipulated by the composition of Isa 6-12 as a whole, but he or she is also directly addressed by the implied author. Moreover, he or she is related to the points in time, varying from standing at a certain distance to being involved in the now-moment.

'Enlarge the Site of Your Tent'
Author: Archibald L.H.M. van Wieringen
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900419424X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
In the year 2000, the first OTS volume by the Jesaja Werkplaats was published, entitled: Studies in Isaiah 24-27 (OTS 43). In the present volume, the question as to the possible unity of the book Isaiah forms the centre of the Jesaja Werkplaats’ interest. In order to gain a better insight into this question, the Jesaja Werkplaats has decided on a fixed starting point: the concept of the ‘city’ within the book Isaiah. This concept not only has a literary meaning, but also a historical one. Examining the ‘city’, therefore, demands various exegetical approaches, overcoming the classical dichotomy between diachrony and synchrony. This volume offers an intriguing variety of contributions on the ‘city’ throughout the entire book Isaiah.

Matthew’s New David at the End of Exile
Author: Nicholas G. Piotrowski
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900432688X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Matthew crowds more Old Testament quotations and allusions into the prologue than anywhere else in his gospel. In this volume, Nicholas G. Piotrowski demonstrates the narratological and rhetorical effects of such frontloading. Particularly, seven formula-quotations constellate to establish a redemptive-historical setting inside of which the rest of the narrative operates. This setting is defined by Old Testament expectations for David’s great son to end Israel’s exile and rule the nations. Piotrowski contends that the rhetorical effect of this intertextual storytelling was to provide the Matthean community with an identity—in a contentious atmosphere—in terms of God’s historical design for the ages, now fulfilled in Jesus and his followers.

The Invention of the Biblical Scholar
Author: Stephen D. Moore
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 1451418442
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
In this "tale of two disciplines," Stephen D. Moore and Yvonne Sherwood invite the reader into a paradox: just as the wider field of literary studies has now come to operate "after theory," biblical scholars continue their long search for an elusive Holy Grail?a definitive literary-critical theory. Understanding that paradox requires revisiting the peculiar history by which the curious figure of the biblical scholar was invented during the Enlightenment, and how contemporary biblical scholarship continues?however unwittingly?to pursue Enlightenment goals.

God as an Absent Character in Biblical Hebrew Narrative
Author: Amelia Devin Freedman
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9780820478289
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
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.

Teaching and Tradition
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004680322
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
This book focuses on the crucial role of teaching in the process of tradition. The various essays present case studies, written by specialists in the field, on themes drawn from the biblical, Jewish and Christian practice of ‘tradition’, the passing on of faith from generation to generation. Underlying these essays is the conviction that teaching is a privileged context for the study of tradition, since it always both preserves and renews tradition. There is no tradition without teaching, in which the past is interpreted in the present and the present is seen in the light of the past. Contributors are: Jan Bouwens, Rob V.J. Faesen, Leon Mock, Jos Moons, Krijn Pansters, Henk J. M. Schoot, Rudi A. te Velde, Archibald L. H. M. van Wieringen, and Ruben J. van Wingerden.

Hope
Author: Lichner Milos
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643913303
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 734
Book Description
In our times hope is called into question. The disintegration of economic systems, of states and societies, families, friendships, distrust in political structures, forces us to ask if hope has disappeared from the experience of today's men and women. In August 2019, up to 240 participants met at the international theological congress in Bratislava, Slovakia. The main lectures, congress sections and workshops aimed to provide a space for thinking about the central theme of hope in relation to philosophy, politics, pedagogy, social work, charity, interreligious dialogue and ecumenism.
