Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Traditionally, biblical studies has been an academic discipline with roots deeply embedded in historical inquiries about the genesis of texts. It should come as no surprise that a significant amount of scholarly attention has been on the formation of the "book" of Isaiah, especially since the compelling imagination of Isaiah comprises an anthology of prophetic voices, each with its own historical context. At the same time, it is well known that the chasteness of ancient texts discloses precious little specific information to aid with this reconstructive task.How Isaiah Became an Author tackles this historical irony head-on. David Davage begins by describing two contrasting ways authorship was conceived in antiquity: Mesopotamian and Greek. He next analyzes the processes through which Isaiah ben Amos came to be imagined as an author of the "book" of Isaiah. In doing so, Davage changes the question from "Who wrote the 'book' of Isaiah?" to "How, and in what ways, was the relation between the prophet called Isaiah and the book that came to bear his name conceived in the Second Temple period?"Davage shows how a prophetic anthology that originally circulated anonymously eventually became transmitted together with a name. Although that name originally did not convey any notion of penning, but rather portrays Isaiah ben Amos as a tradent of divine revelation transmitted by many agents over time, it came to be reimagined as a statement about the origins of the book. This transformation is, then, explained as the result of negotiations between the Mesopotamian and the Greek author concepts in the late Second Temple period, negotiations that have continued even to this day. In How Isaiah Became an Author, David Davage places the "book" of Isaiah in the context of ancient conceptions of authorship and traces the complex process by which paratextual information in the prophecy--which originally portrayed the prophet as a link in a chain of transmission--was reimagined into a statement about the book's origins.

Condition: Sehr Gut. Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren, leicht bestoßen, Mängelexemplarstempel auf Fußschnitt/unused, minor shelfwear, slightly bumped, remainder mark stamp on edge. Edited by David Davage, Mikael Larsson and Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer. This collection of articles is tightly focused on metaphors in the prophetic literature of the Hebrew Bible and their later afterlife in Jewish and Christian texts. The book is divided into four thematic fields: Part I: Divine Metaphors; Part II: Human Metaphors; Part III: Animal Metaphors; Part IV: Inanimate Metaphors. 15 essays by Ola Wikander, Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer, Cecilia Wassén, Beth E. Elness-Hanson, Richard Pleijel, Thomas Kazen, Dag Oredsson, David Davage, Ulf Bergström, Stefan Beyerle, Hanna Liljefors, Cian J. Power, Antti Laato, Kamilla Skarström Hinojosa and Håkan Bengtsson. The essays deal with a wide range of historical, literary, and methodological issues. First, several contributions employ metaphor theory in analysing the biblical texts, both conceptual frameworks such as blending theory and more traditional methods. Second, metaphors are studied both synchronically, that is, in relation to their current literary contexts, and diachronically, that is, mapping how they have been employed and re-interpreted in different ways and different texts throughout time. Third, other contributions read metaphors in light of theoretical frameworks such as feminist criticism, post-colonial theories, or power discourses that uncover aspects of significance often missed in historical studies. Finally, yet other contributions deal with the issue of how to translate metaphors in contemporary contexts.
