The Bridling Of The Tongue And The Opening Of The Mouth In Biblical Prophecy

by Gregory Glazov, The Bridling Of The Tongue And The Opening Of The Mouth In Biblical Prophecy Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download The Bridling Of The Tongue And The Opening Of The Mouth In Biblical Prophecy book, Glazov demonstrates that the interlinked themes of bridling the tongue and opening the mouth, well-known components of wisdom teaching, are also crucial to understanding much in the prophets, as well as later Jewish and Christian writings, especially liturgical texts. His comprehensive survey and analysis of the theme contribute to both a literary and a historical perspective on the prophetic literature of the Bible.

The Dragon In Medieval East Christian And Islamic Art

by Sara Kuehn, The Dragon In Medieval East Christian And Islamic Art Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download The Dragon In Medieval East Christian And Islamic Art book, This book is a pioneering work on a key iconographic motif, that of the dragon. It examines the perception of this complex, multifaceted motif within the overall intellectual and visual universe of the medieval Irano-Turkish world. Using a broadly comparative approach, the author explores the ever-shifting semantics of the dragon motif as it emerges in neighbouring Muslim and non-Muslim cultures. The book will be of particular interest to those concerned with the relationship between the pre-Islamic, Islamic and Eastern Christian (especially Armenian) world. The study is fully illustrated, with 209 (b/w and full colour) plates, many of previously unpublished material. Illustrations include photographs of architectural structures visited by the author, as well as a vast collection of artefacts, all of which are described and discussed in detail with inscription readings, historical data and textual sources.

The Descent From The Mountain

by Martin Ravndal Hauge, The Descent From The Mountain Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download The Descent From The Mountain book, This 'close reading' of Exodus 19-40 focuses on the repetition of the 'encounter on the mountain'. This double encounter is expressed in a narrative structure of preparatory episodes climaxed by the theophany. The tension of the narrative is linked to 'the people' as the unlikely heroes of encounter and solved by the divine descent from the divine mountain to the man-made tent. The new situation of permanent encounter is foregrounded by the juxtaposed stories of pre- and post- Sinai journey, and the theme of the 'substitution of Moses' underlines a radical reinterpretation of traditional concepts, inviting the reader to embark on a process of identification.

Beauty And The Enigma

by Francis Landy, Beauty And The Enigma Books available in Docs, PDF, EPUB, Mobi, Textbook, Kindle Format. Download Beauty And The Enigma book, This book is a collection of Landy's studies on the poetics of the Hebrew Bible. The Song of Songs is featured alongside the prophetic voices of Amos, Hosea and Isaiah, and essays on the Binding of Isaac and on the book of Ruth. Throughout, the emphasis throughout is on the subversiveness, richness and ambiguity of the text, but above all its (often enigmatic) beauty. The thread of psychoanalysis and its metaphorical technique draws together this collection from one of the Bible's most sensitive and distinctive literary critics.
