Bøker i The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies-serien

Compares perspectives from critical methodologies in Old Testament study with perspectives from the history of interpretation of key Old Testament political texts. This book considers the problem of the particularity of the Old Testament, both in general and in relation to New Testament universality.

Analyses texts on social justice in the Old Testament and argues that despite their ideological character they may still assist in shaping a Christian theological approach to social and global injustice. This book offers reflections on the value of the Old Testament as a resource in the struggle for justice.

The Old Testament, and biblical scholarship itself, distinguishes between mythical and historical. This book argues that only historical thing in the Bible is the Bible itself, a superb product of Jewish thought. What is narrated in the Bible is only myth.
