Author: Ruth Aproberts
Title: The Biblical Web
Description: University of Michigan Press, 1994. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 191. The Bible is the most familiar text of western culture, and the most ancient. The Bible constitutes the largest element of our collective inheritance - the vast web of meanings and metaphors in which we envision ourselves, our lives, and our culture. But is a purely literary study of the Bible possible? Ruth apRoberts argues that the answer is a decided yes in The Biblical Web. These lively and varied essays suggest that, even aside from its religious significance, the Bible has had a profound literary impact on Western culture. The author employs literary-critical methods to examine language, metaphor, translations, and levels of literary interpretation in the Bible. These methods allow us to see the language of the Bible as the prologue to religious interpretations. The essays cover a wide array of topics in Biblical study but are united in their focus on the particular distinction and power of the English translation and its resonances in Western literature. ISBN: 9780472104949. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
