Biblical Text and Texture: A Literary Reading of Selected Texts, Paperback/Michael Fishbane

Descriere & specificații

The bible remains one of the major literary achievements of human history, comprising over 60 documents, with as many contributors, and composed over many centuries. In this book, Michael Fishbane approaches the Hebrew Bible from a literary point of view. He demonstrates how, just as orators use particular techniques, such as repetition and pause to convey their message in the way that they require, the Hebrew Bible authors used a range of literary devices to communicate a religious message applicable to particular historical moments, each with their own political, moral and theological contexts. About author(s): Michael Fishbane is Nathan Cummings Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Chicago, and Chair of the Committee on Jewish Studies. He has authored and edited more than fifteen books.
