Book Synopsis Doubling and Duplicating in the Book of Genesis by : Elizabeth R. Hayes
Download or read book Doubling and Duplicating in the Book of Genesis written by Elizabeth R. Hayes and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The style of the Hebrew Bible has long been of significant interest to scholars and exegetes alike. Early Jewish and later Christian commentaries point out the importance of the exact wording in interpreting the text, and many an article has been written on features such as repetition and inclusio. With the rise of literary and narrative criticism in biblical studies, these features have received even more attention. The current book stands in the tradition of Robert Alter in that it focuses on how the text of Genesis is written and phrased. More explicitly, it is interested in why Genesis is formulated the way it is and how this affects the reader in his/her encounter with the text. Doubling and Duplicating is not only concerned with a style-as-analysis frame for interpreters but also with its role as a guide for any audience and its gateway to the ancient mind-set (ideological, ontological, and so on). All of the contributors to this collected volume focus on the form of the book of Genesis—that is, on its use of language and formulation. Yet, each author does this in his/her own way, depending on the most fitting tool for the specific research question or based on the researcher’s methodological background. Thus, the essays represent the various approaches in current literary and stylistic criticism as applied to the biblical corpus. Furthermore, the recurring duality of the features discussed in each of the contributions adds to the overall unity of the volume. This recurrence suggests the presence of a stylistic feature in the book of Genesis, the feature of doubling and duplicating, that surpasses the other features of the individual units or stories. This book offers insights about meaning-making on both the micro- and the macro-text levels.

Download or read book Genesis written by Abraham Kuruvilla and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-02-17 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genesis: A Theological Commentary for Preachers engages hermeneutics for preaching, employing theological exegesis that enables the preacher to utilize all the narrative units of the book to craft effective sermons. This commentary unpacks the crucial link between Scripture and application: the theology of each preaching text, i.e., what the author is doing with what he is saying. Genesis is thus divided into thirty-five narrative units and the theological focus of each is delineated. The overall theological trajectory/theme of the book--divine blessing: creating for blessing (Gen 1-11), moving towards blessing (Gen 12-24), experiencing the blessing (Gen 25-36), and being a blessing (Gen 37-50)--is thus progressively developed. The specificity of these theological ideas for their respective texts makes possible a sequential homiletical movement through each pericope of the book, enabling the expositor to discover valid application for sermons. While the primary goal of the commentary is to take the preacher from text to theology, it also provides two sermon outlines for each of the thirty-five units of Genesis. The unique approach of this work results in a theology-for-preaching commentary that promises to be useful for anyone teaching through Genesis with an emphasis on application.

The point of departure of all the contributions is the prestige lecture by Alan Culpepper where he argues for bringing Biblical material into discussion with modern scientific insights relating to creation and origin.
Book Synopsis Dialogue with Deity by : Raymond Grant
Download or read book Dialogue with Deity written by Raymond Grant and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE are many aspects about the person of God that we are so curious about and wish we knew. Some of those questions that ramble about in the hallways of our mind will only be satisfied in eternity. However, there is one thing for certain that can be known from the get-go. God is a talker! He is an eloquent communicator, and He loves to dialogue with His creation. From the first book of the Bible onward, God verbalizes His will, expectations, and love with mankind. This book examines with excitement every instance in Genesis where God talked to man or man talked to God. It is discovered that those occurrences greatly resemble contemporary social issues we face today, and that dialogue contains pertinent wisdom for us as well, and so we pray-we learn from them how to dialogue with Deity. RAYMOND GRANT is an essayist, exegete, and evangelist who has spent 30 years as a chaplain's assistant and teacher of Apologetics and Philosophy: He has degrees in theology (American Divinity School) and education (University of Portland). His works include ghost-writing, co-authoring, books on church administration, commentaries, text books and evangelistic tracts. He resides in Portland, Oregon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s evangelical community faces a multitude of questions about the creation of the cosmos and the beginning of human history and-quite naturally-we look to the Bible for answers about the origins and meaning of human history. But what are we to do with the stories in the first two chapters of Genesis? Reading Genesis 1-2: An Evangelical Conversation brings together the voices of five prominent evangelical scholars who take on difficult interpretive questions that arise from reading the Bible’s first two chapters. Richard Averbeck, Todd Beall, John Collins, Tremper Longman, and John Walton offer their perspectives in a point-counterpoint style. Drawing on a wealth of theological, linguistic, and historical expertise, this collection is characterized by a close attention to the biblical text and a mutual respect that often sorely lacks in the discussion of origins in the modern evangelical world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How were holidays chosen and taught in biblical Israel, and what did they have to do with the creation narrative? Michael LeFebvre considers the calendars of the Pentateuch, arguing that dates were added to Old Testament narratives not as journalistic details but to teach sacred rhythms of labor and worship. LeFebvre then applies this insight to the creation week, finding that the days of creation also serve a liturgical purpose.

Book Synopsis The Theology of the Book of Genesis by : R. W. L. Moberly
Download or read book The Theology of the Book of Genesis written by R. W. L. Moberly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Genesis contains foundational material for Jewish and Christian theology, both historic and contemporary, and is almost certainly the most appealed-to book in the Old Testament in contemporary culture. R. W. L. Moberly's The Theology of the Book of Genesis examines the actual use made of Genesis in current debates, not only in academic but also in popular contexts. Traditional issues such as creation and fall stand alongside more recent issues such as religious violence and Christian Zionism. Moberly's concern - elucidated through a combination of close readings and discussions of hermeneutical principle - is to uncover what constitutes good understanding and use of Genesis, through a consideration of its intrinsic meaning as an ancient text (in both Hebrew and Greek versions) in dialogue with its reception and appropriation both past and present. Moberly seeks to enable responsible theological awareness and use of the ancient text today, highlighting Genesis' enduring significance.
Download or read book Genesis written by R. O. Cuevas and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-25 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome, beloved of God, to "A Modern Translation of the Bible"! You're in for a ride! This translation focuses more on alternate texts (the Septuagint, the Samaritan Torah, the Peshitta) than merely on the Masoretic Text. This book carries a modern translation of the first book of the Bible: Genesis! Convincing dialogue and narrative give this translation a fresher view rather than the old "Bible language" of the King James Version. See the Preface for more about the translation work. Just what kind of translation is this, though? Many classify translations into three groups: literal (or Word-for-Word) translations, dynamic (or Thought-for-Thought), or a combination of both. Well, as for this translation here, it is more like a Thought-for-Thought translation than a Word-for-Word translation, although I do strive for accuracy of the text. So to speak, this is a combination.
