Bernhard Lang, known for his contributions over several decades to
biblical anthropology, offers in this volume a selection of essays
on the life and literature of the ancient Hebrews. The subjects
range from the Hebrew God, the world-view of the Bible, and the
formation of the scriptural canon, to peasant poverty, women's
work, the good life, and prophetic street theatre. The stories of
Joseph, Samson, and the expulsion from Paradise are analysed, and
in a departure from the Old Testament, the priestly origins of the
Eucharist are considered. Insight into the Hebrew mentality is
facilitated by the arrangement of the essays, reflecting the three
strata of the ancient society: the peasants, with their common
concerns of fertility and happiness; warriors, their martial
pursuits, and the divine Lord of War; and the wise - prophets,
priests, and sages.
