Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Study of the wisdom literature in the Hebrew Bible and the contemporary cultures in the ancient Near Eastern world is evolving rapidly as old definitions and assumptions are questioned. Scholars are now interrogating the role of oral culture, the rhetoric of teaching and didacticism, the understanding of genre, and the relationship of these factors to the corpus of writings.

They engage with the texts, provide authoritative summaries of the state of the field, and open up to readers the exciting world of biblical wisdom.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Genre and Openness in Proverbs 10:1-22:16, Suzanna R. Millar argues that the sayings in these chapters have a hybrid genre, 'didactic proverb'. These sayings train a student's mind by opening up a number of complex possible interpretations while being multifunctional and widely applicable. By incorporating paremiology, the technical study of the proverb genre, Millar sheds light on important issues within these chapters, including character development, the connection between act and consequence, and the acquisition of wisdom.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Animals pervade the books of Samuel. Though their presence often goes unnoticed, they are integral players in the society narrated. What's more, they are caught up in societal power dynamics and are treated in ways that intersect with the treatment of marginalized humans, such as women, foreigners, and children. Working with a robust analytic framework, Animals, Power, and Intersectionality in the Books of Samuel draws on scholars of animal studies, power, and intersectionality, to examine selected texts from the books of Samuel to highlight these oft-overlooked players. Suzanna Millar shows how animals are utilized by certain humans in their power-play as their deaths are ritualized through sacrificial killing; killings which have pivotal significance in the shifts of power between Eli, Samuel, and Saul. It explores how animals are subordinated alongside certain humans, as both groups are taken by kings vying for power: animals and humans are plundered, taxed, and stolen by kings like David as they develop, consolidate, and abuse their sovereignty. The book further considers how animals can become images to represent certain humans; specifically, they become implicated in the construction and delegitimization of the masculinities of Goliath, Absalom, and Mephibosheth. Finally, it examines how animals interact with certain humans in specific times and places and thereby might express their own agency and power (though they are recursively brought back under human control). In these and other ways, Millar robustly demonstrates the role of animals in the intersectional power dynamics of Samuel.…
