Scriptural Vitality (eBook, ePUB)

Rethinking Philology and Hermeneutics

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Scriptural Vitality explores Judaism in the Second Temple Period (5th-c. BCE to 1st-c. CE) as a dynamic tradition of textual production and resilience under the threat of destruction. This vitality is an expression of convergence of cultures across Jewish and Greek traditions, intermingling theological, philosophical, and literary innovation.
