Constructions of Space III: Biblical Spatiality and the Sacred: The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies

Editat de Jorunn Økland, Dr. J. Cornelis de Vos, Dr Karen J. Wenell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2019
Constructions of Space III engages with the great variety of sacred spaces set out and given meaning in the texts of the Hebrew Bible, early Jewish literature and the New Testament. Spatial-critical, as well as anthropological, philosophical and narrative perspectives are interacted with in creative ways and brought to bear on the spaces encountered within the texts. Among the concepts and themes explored are oppositional aspects such as holiness and danger/the profane, fear and hope, utopia and dystopia, and purity and impurity. The social and mythological significance of more 'grounded' places such as Jerusalem and Egypt, temples, burial places and threshing floors is considered alongside more ethereal and symbolic spaces like those of heaven, the last judgement and the kingdom of God. What emerges is a dynamic and lively set of perspectives that illuminates relationships between texts, spaces and communities.

Descriere

Engages space and explores how the Bible does not contain one, or even several, notions of sacred/holy space.

Recenzii

This fine volume prompts readers to approach the biblical texts creatively by (re)considering the spatial dimensions in religious realities that probably escaped the customary interpretation.
