Considers the essential elements of Hebrew verse Introduces the reader to the full range of the poetry of the Old Testament, both outside the Psalter and within Fully accessible to non-specialists A select bibliography following each chapter offers suggestions for further study Because of the command not to make `graven images' the creativity of the ancient Jews was always somewhat contrained: instead of the visual arts, poetry and story became the two most important forms which depicted the relationship between God and his people. The most familiar poems in the Bible are the psalms of the Psalter, the love songs of the Song of Solomon, and the aphorisms of Proverbs. But there are also many other examples of Hebrew verse, less familiar because of being buried in narrative context. These include war poetry, vintage songs, funeral elegies, blessings, prayers, and hymns. Such poetry has a setting-in-life as well as a setting-in-literature, and needs to be read at both levels in order to appreciate its impact as a work of art. By considering the essential elements of Hebrew verse, this book introduces the reader to the full range of the poetry of the Old Testament, both outside the Psalter and within it. It is aimed at Old Testament students but is fully accessible to non-specialists as well. No knowledge of Hebrew is presumed, and a select bibliography following each chapter offers suggestions for further study.
Quien escribe esta obra sobre Jesus de Nazaret, es un pastor, un
hombre de fe, una persona que valora en gran medida las virtudes de
la experiencia religiosa saludable y liberadora en la sociedad. La
religion, desde esa optica vocacional y profesional, no debe ser
opio cautivante, ni instrumento de dominacion, sino un importante
agente de salud mental, bienestar social y redencion espiritual.
Las ensenanzas y los valores que se manifiestan en la vida y obra
de Jesus, representan lo mejor de los valores religiosos, que
tienen como finalidad formar, informar, reformar y transformar a la
humanidad. Una obra necesaria para quienes quieren entender y
disfrutar la figura de Jesus de Nazaret en su entorno historico,
social, politico, religioso y espiritual. Un libro necesario en las
bibliotecas de pastores y pastoras, maestros y maestras que desean
llevar a efecto un ministerio educativo inteligente y
transformador."
