Matthew Suriano deposited A Place in the Dust: Text, Topography and a Toponymic Note on Micah 1:10-12a in the group
Biblical Studies on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months agoThe poetry of Micah’s oracle of doom (Mic 1:8-16) combines two undeniable motifs, the motif of the lament and that of geography. The latter motif is not well understood due to the obscurity of the place names found in vv. 10a-12b. A careful study of the oracle’s geographical con-text, however, will lead to a more precise understanding of the top…[Read more]

David Skelton deposited Ben Sira’s Imaginative Theodicy in the group
Religious Studies on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months agoThis paper examines the concept of kingship in the book of Ben Sira by exploring both the adages regarding rulers and the Praise of the Ancestors. In the former, Ben Sira stresses God’s sovereignty over the Gentile ruler, and in the latter he assures peace through fidelity to the Aaronide priesthood, especially the lineage of Simeon. He…[Read more]

Biblical Studies on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months agoThe Hebrew Bible often portrays Sheol in a manner evocative of the tomb. In texts such as Psalm 88 the tomb is a dreary and isolating symbol. Yet this contrasts with the positive role of the family tomb where the dead are reunited with their ancestors. The ritual analysis of Judahite bench tombs, however, reveals a dynamic concept of death. This…[Read more]

Ian Wilson deposited Conquest and Form: Narrativity in Joshua 5-11 and Historical Discourse in Ancient Judah on Humanities Commons 8 years, 9 months ago
One goal of this essay is to offer an exploratory, historiographical analysis of the conquest account in the book of Joshua, an analysis that focuses upon the sociocultural milieu of ancient Judah.
