Download or read book Jephthah and His Vow written by David Marcus and published by Texas Tech University Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of Jephthah's vow, recorded in Judges, chapter 11, has attracted the attention of generations of Bible scholars and has gripped the imagination of creative artists from ancient to modern times. The story has served as an inspiration for the composition of dramas, novels, songs, cantatas, oratorios, and operas. The appeal of the story has been attributed to the emotional qualities and the dramatic possibilities that it holds. According to the biblical account, Jephthah, newly elected as leader over Israel, vows to the Lord that should he be granted victory over the Ammonites he will sacrifice to Him the first one who greets him upon his return from battle. The first to greet him following his defeat of the Ammonites is his daughter, who is then sacrificed.Jephthah and His Vow challenges the widespread opinion that Jephthah literally put his daughter to death. It maintains that the almost unanimous support this opinion has received in recent years is not justified and the alternate conclusion that the daughter was not put to death but had to remain a virgin, consecrated to God, for the remainder of her life has equal, if not more validity. Marcus demonstrates that the Hebrew text of the story is often ambiguous and is open to different interpretations. He analyzes the history of the exegesis, the original intent of the vow, as well as, biblical and non-biblical literary parallels. Marcus concludes that the evidence is such that both conclusions for the fate of Jephthah's daughter are equally possible, and that this very ambivalence was in fact the original intention of the narrator. Dr. David Marcus was born and educated in Dublin, Ireland. He did his undergraduate work at Trinity College, Dublin, and at Cambridge University in England. He did graduate work in Philadelphia and New York, and he received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in the Department of Middle East Languages and Cultures. Dr Marcus is the author of numerous scholarly articles and two language manuals, one on the Akkadian language, and the other on the language of the Talmud. He has taught for many years at Columbia University and currently is teaching at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York.

Book excerpt: “This splendid reference describes every woman in Jewish and Christian scripture . . . monumental” (Library Journal). In recent decades, many biblical scholars have studied the holy text with a new focus on gender. Women in Scripture is a groundbreaking work that provides Jews, Christians, or anyone fascinated by a body of literature that has exerted a singular influence on Western civilization a thorough look at every woman and group of women mentioned in the Bible, whether named or unnamed, well known or heretofore not known at all. They are remarkably varied—from prophets to prostitutes, military heroines to musicians, deacons to dancers, widows to wet nurses, rulers to slaves. There are familiar faces, such as Eve, Judith, and Mary, seen anew with the full benefit of the most up-to-date results of biblical scholarship. But the most innovative aspect of this book is the section devoted to the many females who in the scriptures do not even have names. Combining rigorous research with engaging prose, these articles on women in the Hebrew Bible, the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books, and the New Testament will inform, delight, and challenge readers interested in the Bible, scholars and laypeople alike. Together, these collected histories create a volume that takes the study of women in the Bible to a new level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the expectations and circumstances of women’s lives in ancient Israel have received considerable attention in recent scholarship, to date little attention has been focused on the role of daughters in Hebrew narrative‒‒that is, of yet unmarried female members of the household, who are not yet mothers. Kimberly D. Russaw argues that daughters are more than foils for the males (fathers, brothers, etc.) in biblical narratives and that they often use particular tactics to navigate antagonistic systems of power in their worlds. Institutions and power structures favor the patriarch, sons inherit such privileges and benefits, and wives and mothers are ascribed special status because they ensure the patrilineal legacy by birthing sons; but daughters do not receive such social favor or standing. Instead of privileging daughters, systems and institutions control their bodies, restrict their access, and constrict their movement. Combining philological data, social-science models, and cross-cultural comparisons, Russaw examines the systems that constrict biblical daughters in their worlds and the strategies they employ when hostile social forces threaten their well-being.

Book excerpt: "Freed from contemporary theological categories that have been informed by ideological and psychological issues, but ever mindful of the social location of gender analysis, these essays provide fresh and exciting looks at otherwise unfamiliar texts. They jar our minds and our biases.... This book is a valuable contribution to gender-oriented biblical scholarship. Its content is accessible to both the scholarly and the less technically trained reader. All will be well served by this important collection of essays."? Naomi Steinberg, DePaul University"This book is a credit to the quality and breadth of feminine biblical scholarship and presents some creative interpretations of the texts and a wealth of Ancient Near Eastern material."?
