Notă biografică
David H. Aaron is Professor at the Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion (Cincinnati).
Descriere
Ancient
texts
are
ambiguous,
and
the
Hebrew
Bible
is
no
exception.
One
might
even
frame
the
history
of
a
religion
as
a
history
of
a
belief
system’s
management
of
ambiguity.
Applying
a
linguistic
model,
Aaron
systematically
examines
and
veritably
celebrates
this
inherent
ambiguity
in
order
to
understand
God-related
idioms
in
the
Hebrew
Bible,
more
specifically,
whether
a
particular
idiom
is
meant
to
be
understood
metaphorically.
Aaron
examines
the
original
intent
of
the
writers
of
biblical
literature
and
suggests
that
one
can
conceptualize
texts
as
metonyms
for
their
authors
and
their
historical
contexts.
Through
an
in-depth
exploration
of
semantic
theory,
Aaron
places
metaphor
on
a
non-binary
“continuum
of
meaning”
instead
of
using
a
limiting
either/or
conception
of
figurative
speech.
Aaron
challenges
current
methodologies
that
dominate
biblical
scholarship
regarding
metaphor
and
offers
original,
viable
alternatives
to
the
standard
approaches.
This
interdisciplinary
project
takes
into
consideration
a
broad
range
of
issues,
which
point
to
further
areas
of
study.
Aaron’s
model
for
gradient
judgements,
that
is,
a
method
for
judging
statements
and
placing
them
on
a
“continuum
of
meaning,”
offers
a
new
building
block
for
biblical
study
and
interpretation.
