Michael Fishbane / Biblical Interpretation in Ancient Israel Clarendon 1989

Description: Biblical Interpretation in Ancient Israel (Clarendon Paperbacks) Author: Fishbane, Michael Title: Biblical Interpretation in Ancient Israel (Clarendon Paperbacks) Publication: Clarendon Press, January 1989 Description: Paperback. 617 pp. Clean, sharp copy. 'First published in hardback in August 1985, Professor Fishbane's book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of textual analysis in ancient Israel. It explores the rich tradition of exegesis prior to the development of biblical interpretation in early classical Judaism and the earliest Christian communities, and studies four main categories of exegesis: scribal, legal, aggadic, and mantological. In studying this subject, it emerges that the Hebrew Bible is not only the foundation document for the exegetical culture of Judaism and Christianity, but an exegetical work in its own right. The author has added new material in appendices to the paperback. Professor Fishbane has been awarded three major prizes for this work: the National Jewish Book Award 1986, the Biblical Archaeology Society 1986 Publication Award, and the Kenneth B. Smilen Literary Award.'. NEAR FINE. Seller ID: 504685 Subject: Religion Arches Bookhouse is a brick & mortar bookshop in North Portland, Oregon.
