The Book of Job in Wonderland (eBook, PDF)

Making (Non)Sense of Job's Mediators

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The Book of Job in Wonderland explores the theme of mediation in the biblical book of Job with a unique approach that examines the Hebrew language, the history of its interpretation, and a comparative literary analysis of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Both of these classics relentlessly subvert genre expectations in order to protest didactic religious instruction. In addition to biblical studies, this book makes contributions to lexicography, hermeneutics, medieval Jewish thought, early and modern Christianity, literary theory, and Victorian literature.
