In this volume, a list of esteemed scholars engage with the
literary readings of prophetic and poetic texts in the Hebrew Bible
that revolve around sensitivity to the complexity of language, the
fragility of meaning, and the interplay of texts. These themes are
discussed using a variety of hermeneutical strategies. In Part 1,
Poets and Poetry, some essays address the nature of poetic language
itself, while others play with themes of love, beauty, and nature
in specific poetic texts. The essays in Part 2, Prophets and
Prophecy, consider prophets and prophecy from a number of
interpretive directions, moving from internal literary analysis to
the reception of these texts and their imagery in a range of
ancient and modern contexts. Those in Part 3, on the other hand,
Texts in Play, take more recent works (from Shakespeare to Tove
Jansson's Moomin books for children) as their point of departure,
developing conversations between texts across the centuries that
enrich the readings of both the ancient and modern pieces of
literature.
