With exegetical precision it challenges dichotomies – between humans and nonhumans, domestic and wild – that have been dangerously absolutized by the industrialized mindset. Because that challenge is articulated in language accessible to non-experts, it merits wide usage by scholars, students, and interested readers of the Bible * Ellen F. Davis, Professor of Bible and Practical Theology, Duke Divinity School, USA * This first book of a new series on nature imagery in the Bible is like a beacon. It shows the way to systematic and interdisciplinary investigations, with a variety of aspects and in dialogue. It demonstrates that the boundaries between ‘nature’ and ‘culture’ are fluid and thus invites to a deeper reflection on our world. * Georg Fischer SJ, Professor emeritus, University of Innsbruck, Austria * Given the authority of the Bible across various domains of society (economic, social, political), and given the many climate-related challenges we all now face, how the Bible thinks about the world we inhabit, and the categories of “wild” and “domestic,” matters enormously. Mark Boda and Dalit Rom-Shiloni have assembled a stellar array of contributors who expertly guide readers into the variety of biblical understandings of these slippery concepts, and how we might make sense of them in light of today’s challenges. * Jacqueline E. Lapsley, President of Union Presbyterian Seminary, USA * Author InformationDalit Rom-Shiloni is Professor of Biblical Studies at Tel-Aviv University, Israel. Mark J. Boda is Professor of Old Testament at McMaster Divinity College, Canada. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
