Samson: Hero or Fool?: The Many Faces of Samson: Themes in Biblical Narrative, cartea 17

Editat de Erik M.M. Eynikel, Tobias Nicklas
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 apr 2014
Samson is a peculiar character. He is the most powerful of the Israelite judges and three whole chapters in the book of Judges are allocated to him. Yet he demonstrates many weaknesses, not least for the charms of women. In the international conference “Samson: Hero or Fool?” organised at the University of Nijmegen in April, 2008, the texts of Judges 16-18 were studied from different perspectives, investigating how the complex character of this (anti)hero lived on in various ways in the later traditions about him. The contributions discuss also the reception history of the Samson traditions in later Jewish, Christian and Islamic literature, as well as his representation in figurative and performing arts

Recenzii

"A substantial resource for deepening our understanding of Judg 13–16 and of the enduring appeal of the enigmatic Samson."
Clinton McCann Jr., Eden Theological Seminary Webster Groves, Missouri, Review of Biblical Literature

"The multifaceted nature of this book helps the reader gain further insights into the biblical text and may inspire continued reflection. Recourse to Hebrew – even when the theme is not exegetical in nature (e.g. Spronk) – attests to the value of interdisciplinary exchange among various areas of study [...] The authors are to be commended for a plethora of insights as an expression of the complexity and curiosity which Samson has evoked over time."
Jacek Stefanski, Wigierski Areopag Nowej Ewangelizacji, The Biblical Annals, Volume 7, Issue 2
