Book Synopsis Maternal Grief in the Hebrew Bible by : Ekaterina E. Kozlova
Download or read book Maternal Grief in the Hebrew Bible written by Ekaterina E. Kozlova and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setting out from the observation made in the social sciences that maternal grief can at times be a motor of societal change, Ekaterina E. Kozlova demonstrates that a similar mechanism operates also in the biblical world. Kozlova argues that maternal grief is treated as a model or archetype of grief in biblical and Ancient Near Eastern literature. The work considers three narratives and one poem that illustrate the transformative power of maternal grief in the biblical presentation: Gen 21, Hagar and Ishmael in the desert; 2 Sam 21: 1-14, Rizpah versus King David; 2 Sam 14, the speech of the Tekoite woman; Jer 31: 15-22, Rachel weeping for her children. Although only one of the texts literally refers to a bereaved mother (2 Sam 21 on Rizpah), all four passages draw on the motif of maternal grief, and all four stage some form of societal transformation.

Download or read book Jeremiah 26-52 written by Carolyn Sharp and published by Kohlhammer Verlag. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary illumines Jer 26-52 through historical, literary, feminist, and postcolonial analysis. Ideologies of subjugation and resistance are entangled in the Jeremiah traditions. The reader is guided through narratives of extreme violence, portrayals of iconic allies and adversaries, and complex gestures of scribal resilience. Judah's cultural trauma is refracted through prose that mimics Neo-Babylonian colonizing ideology, dramatic scenes of survival, and poetry alight with the desire for vengeance against enemies. The commentary's historical and literary arguments are enriched by insights from archaeology, feminist translation theory, and queer studies.
Book Synopsis Creation and Emotion in the Old Testament by : David A. Bosworth
Download or read book Creation and Emotion in the Old Testament written by David A. Bosworth and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creation conjures emotion and thereby shapes how we think and act. People fear snakes and enclosed spaces, and delight in well-watered landscapes. Language about nature evokes these emotional meanings and their consequences. We may construe nature as a mother to enhance love of creation and motivate care for our common home. Mother nature becomes a caregiving source of life rather than an inert resource. Alternatively, we may focus on the dangers or uselessness of a swamp so that we may drain it and plant crops. Creation and the ways we speak about it reflect and shape emotion and influence behavior. Every reference to the natural word in biblical literature involves some emotional resonance. Any animal might have intruded into the paradise of Eden, but the biblical narrative gives this role to a snake. The serpent elicits ominous foreboding because snakes evoke fear and fascination. Isaiah amplifies the joy of Israel's restoration by depicting deserts transforming into fertile fields and creation itself rejoicing. Biblical authors draw on human emotional responsiveness to creation to express and elicit emotions. David A. Bosworth analyzes how biblical texts use creation to conjure emotion. He draws on the science of emotion, including research on human emotional responsiveness to nature. Ancient texts correlate with contemporary research on how human environments shape emotion and behavior. The chapters unfold how specific emotions emerge from biblical references to aspects of creation.
Book Synopsis Dress, Adornment, and the Body in the Hebrew Bible by : Laura Quick
Download or read book Dress, Adornment, and the Body in the Hebrew Bible written by Laura Quick and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dress, Adornment, and the Body in the Hebrew Bible is the first monograph to treat dress and adornment in biblical literature in the English language. It moves beyond a description of these aspects of ancient life to encompass notions of interpersonal relationships and personhood that underpin practices of dress and adornment. Laura Quick explores the ramifications of body adornment in the biblical world, informed by a methodologically plural approach incorporating material culture alongside philology, textual exegesis, comparative evidence, and sociological models. Drawing upon and synthesizing insights from material culture and texts from across the eastern Mediterranean, the volume reconstructs the social meanings attached to the dressed body in biblical texts. It shows how body adornment can deepen understanding of attitudes towards the self in the ancient world. In Quick's reconstruction of ancient performances of the self, the body serves as the observed centre in which complex ideologies of identity, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and social status are articulated. The adornment of the body is thus an effective means of non-verbal communication, but one which at the same time is controlled by and dictated through normative social values. Exploring dress, adornment, and the body can therefore open up hitherto unexplored perspectives on these social values in the ancient world, an essential missing piece in understanding the social and cultural world which shaped the Hebrew Bible.

Book Synopsis Making Sense of Motherhood by : Beth M. Stovell
Download or read book Making Sense of Motherhood written by Beth M. Stovell and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motherhood provides a crucial place for exploring human life and its meaning. Within motherhood lies a deep tension between the pain, crisis, and association with death in motherhood and the joy, transformation, and life in motherhood. Few metaphors in Scripture (or in life) stand so firmly between life and death, love and loss, and joy and deep pain. After all, motherhood's meaning in part comes again and again at these crucial crossroads. Thus, motherhood has powerful implications for our biblical and theological understanding. Bringing together Jewish and ecumenical Christian scholars from North America, Oceania, and South America, this edited volume provides biblical and theological perspectives on understanding motherhood. The authors reflect upon a selection of biblical texts, systematic theologians, and Christian spiritual traditions to dialogue with the experience of maternity in its diverse manifestations. The purpose of the book is to provide essays that--through these biblical and theological lenses--engage the question of motherhood today, from the experience of pregnancy and birth, to raising children, to losing children and coping with grief. In this way, this volume helps to "make sense" of the complexity of motherhood.

Author Leila Leah Bronner adds to the ongoing conversation about the role and place of women in the Bible, and inspires further reflection on the biblical mother.
Download or read book Motherloss written by Lynn Davidman and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lynn Davidman has written a courageous and important book about the impact of losing one's mother at an early age. Courageous because this is painful material--no one who reads it can help but recall their own mother's passing, even if not at an early age--and important because it seems there are few, if any, other books like it."—Virginia Olesen, University of California, San Francisco "This is an interesting, important, well-written book on a profoundly moving subject."—Barbara Katz Rothman, author of Genetic Maps and Human Imaginations "This is an important contribution to our understanding of the social construction of personal loss. It's an absorbing read and a vivid, often poignant, description of the response to mother loss. Motherloss is a real find for anyone interested in the importance of mothering."— Arlene Kaplan Daniels, Northwestern University "Sociology should focus on the most important human experiences, and Lynn Davidman gives us a sensitive account of the experience of losing one's mother. She shows that a sociology focused on meaning and identity best enables us to understand the personally unique experience of this loss for any individual without losing the shared cultural and social context in which such loss is also given form."—Nancy Chodorow, author of The Power of Feelings

Book Synopsis After The Death of Your Child - A Jewish Mother's Perspective by : Cynthia Pollak
Download or read book After The Death of Your Child - A Jewish Mother's Perspective written by Cynthia Pollak and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-08-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cynthia's ability to offer and share with the reader insight into her own personal story, her internal struggles and emotions while at the same time providing perspective, knowledge and resources on this painful topic is certainly unique. I would strongly recommend communal rabbis to read this book and to have it available to share with their congregants if ever needed. Rabbi Daniel Rabin, Rabbi South Caulfield Hebrew Congregation This is an incredibly powerful resource for parents dealing with the unthinkable loss of their child, as well as anyone supporting others dealing with loss. Rabbi Allison Conyer, Etz Chayim Progressive Synagogue It is rare to find a book written by a bereaved parent that covers the theoretical principles of grief, whilst maintaining the warmth and integrity of the writer's personal story within the context of the Jewish religion. I would happily give the book to my clients to read. Karen Ludski, Grief Counsellor Cynthia has used her skills and motivation to bring the wisdom garnered from this group context, along with the experience of her own painful loss, to bear in this new book which addresses many of the common fears and issues confronted by bereaved parents. What makes this book remarkable is that it directly addresses the virtual absence of books and literature which speak directly to the bereaved Jewish parent. Christopher Hall, CEO, Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement An engaging, informative and touching book. Up-to-date and very accessible in style of writing and short chapters with itemised sub-sections. Great to read about and get a sense of Danny, too. Andrew McNess, CEO, The Compassionate Friends of Victoria
