Recenzii

'A very welcome addition to biblical studies, Hanne Løland Levinson's The Death Wish in the Hebrew Bible addresses a well-known motif that has never been given full and proper study. This fresh and insightful study avoids the pitfall of taking death wishes at face value and instead recognizes their rhetorical functions: death wish as a negotiation strategy; death wishes expressed in despair or anger; wishing away one's birth; and death wishes as wishful thinking. The book is very well constructed and executed; the writing is lovely. It also contributes to the contemporary social conversation about the end of life, especially in noting how the expression of a death wish may not communicate a simple wish for one's death, but a desire for help or an expression of deep pain or traumatic loss. Thoughtful; and most highly recommended.' Mark S. Smith, Princeton Theological Seminary
'The book is a highly readable discussion of a fascinating topic, and full of precise and nuanced insights into the texts.' Marian Kelsey, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
