Download or read book The Book of Tamar written by Nel Havas and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now seen through the eyes of the young woman who became the unwilling catalyst to cruel events - incest, murder, and war, this is the controversial retelling of the epic of Absalom. Tamar, daughter of the famous King David, is raped by her half-brother. Although angered, David does nothing. Tamar's full-brother Absalom is outraged over the crime and the King's inaction. Absalom and his mother Makha plot revenge. While this turmoil unfolds, Bathsheba (David's most favored wife) quietly maneuvers to have her son Solomon inherit the throne, bypassing Absalom and the older brothers. Tamar loves her family above all others and is horrified to see her family's quarrel escalate out of control. She bravely struggles to prevent the clash from degenerating into civil war and undertakes a remarkable journey on foot to find the King. Her companion Hana accompanies her, disguised as a warrior to protect Tamar. But she cannot prevent the tragic denouement. As her world crumbles about her, Tamar keeps focus and has personal triumph in the end. After three thousand years, Tamar tells the story in her own words. The novel is an interesting study of two charismatic leaders who were themselves very flawed personalities, about the anguish within a family that was torn apart by their clash, and about a mother and daughter, whose love for each other is strained by their differing loyalties.
Book Synopsis Of Gods, Humans and Beasts by : Arnold Wishman
Download or read book Of Gods, Humans and Beasts written by Arnold Wishman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bold and irreverent, this is essentially a work of fiction, Arnold’s stories are a blend of humour, cynicism and terror. He extracts episodes from religious texts, personal observations and legends of faith that abound in the sphere of faith and spirituality. The stories project an amplified, yet truthful account of the terrible and the ridiculous. The book does not blaspheme any belief, for nothing he says is a departure from what is already woven into the written texts. Yet this remains a work of fiction with superstitions and reality blended into one disturbing narrative.

Book Synopsis The House of the Mother by : Cynthia R. Chapman
Download or read book The House of the Mother written by Cynthia R. Chapman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel approach to Israelite kinship, arguing that maternal kinship bonds played key social, economic, and political roles for a son who aspired to inherit his father’s household Upending traditional scholarship on patrilineal genealogy, Cynthia Chapman draws on twenty years of research to uncover an underappreciated yet socially significant kinship unit in the Bible: “the house of the mother.” In households where a man had two or more wives, siblings born to the same mother worked to promote and protect one another’s interests. Revealing the hierarchies of the maternal houses and political divisions within the national house of Israel, this book provides us with a nuanced understanding of domestic and political life in ancient Israel.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of the Historical Books of the Hebrew Bible by : Brad E. Kelle
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Historical Books of the Hebrew Bible written by Brad E. Kelle and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Oxford Handbook of the Historical Books of the Hebrew Bible offers 36 essays on the so-called "Historical Books": Joshua, Judges, 1-2 Samuel, 1-2 Kings, Ezra-Nehemiah, and 1-2 Chronicles. The essays are organized around four nodes: contexts, content, approaches, and reception. Each essay takes up two questions: (1) what does the topic/area/issue have to do with the Historical Books?" and (2) how does this topic/area/issue help readers better interpret the Historical Books?" The essays engage traditional theories and newer updates to the same, and also engage the textual traditions themselves which are what give rise to compositional analyses. Many essays model approaches that move in entirely different ways altogether, however, whether those are by attending to synchronic, literary, theoretical, or reception aspects of the texts at hand. The contributions range from text-critical issues to ancient historiography, state formation and development, ancient Near Eastern contexts, society and economy, political theory, violence studies, orality, feminism, postcolonialism, and trauma theory-among others. Taken together, these essays well represent the variety of options available when it comes to gathering, assessing, and interpreting these particular biblical books"--
