The Bible and Hellenism Greek Influence on Jewish and Early Christian Literature

The Bible and Hellenism Greek Influence on Jewish and Early Christian Literature

Did the Bible only take its definitive form after Alexander conquered the Near East after the Hellenisation of the Samaritans and Jews and after the founding of the great library of Alexandria? The Bible and Hellenism takes up one of the most pressing and controversial questions of Bible Studies today: the influence of classical literature on the writing and formation of the Bible. Bringing together a wide range of international scholars The Bible and Hellenism explores the striking parallels between biblical and earlier Greek literature and examines the methodological issues raised by such comparative study. The book argues that the oral traditions of historical memory are not the key factor in the creation of biblical narrative. It demonstrates that Greek texts – from such authors as Homer Hesiod Herodotus and Plato – must be considered amongst the most important sources for the Bible. | The Bible and Hellenism Greek Influence on Jewish and Early Christian Literature

Greek Myth and the Bible

Greek Myth and the Bible

Since the nineteenth-century rediscovery of the Gilgamesh epic we have known that the Bible imports narratives from outside of Israelite culture refiguring them for its own audience. Only more recently however has come the realization that Greek culture is also a prominent source of biblical narratives. Greek Myth and the Bible argues that classical mythological literature and the biblical texts were composed in a dialogic relationship. Louden examines a variety of Greek myths from a range of sources analyzing parallels between biblical episodes and Hesiod Euripides Argonautic myth selections from Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Homeric epic. This fascinating volume offers a starting point for debate and discussion of these cultural and literary exchanges and adaptations in the wider Mediterranean world and will be an invaluable resource to students of the Hebrew Bible and the influence of Greek myth.

What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

When it comes to sex the Bible is marred by inequality. To address the consequences of that What the Bible Says About Sex asserts that modern perspectives on sexuality and gender should be separated from the more constraining historical views of traditional biblical interpretation. What does the Bible say about sexuality? How have traditions of biblical interpretation influenced our understanding of sex and gender? What the Bible Says About Sex answers that and many other questions. Not shy it analyzes why the Church claimed dominion over marriage while the female body remained a source of potential evil. It wrestles with how sexuality is used not only in the past but also in the present to reinforce notions of honor and how it can be used to manipulate others. Deftly it handles a discussion of semen as both profane and the seed of life. It looks brazenly at the pornographic and the erotic passages of the Bible and how traditions of interpretation veiled them. With the Bible frequently invoked to support arguments in the present age over the moral limits of sexuality and gender having a greater awareness of what the Bible says about sex and how it is and has been interpreted is critical now more than ever. What the Bible Says About Sex is suitable for students scholars and the general reader with an interest in sexuality and the Bible and sex and desire in both ancient and modern Christianity. | What the Bible Says About Sex Why We Read It The Way We Do

Male Friendship Homosociality and Women in the Hebrew Bible Malignant Fraternities

Male Friendship Homosociality and Women in the Hebrew Bible Malignant Fraternities

Male alliances partnerships and friendships are fundamental to the Hebrew Bible. This book offers a detailed and explicit exploration of the ways in which shared sexual use of women and women’s bodies engenders sustains and nourishes such relationships in the Hebrew Bible. Hebrew Bible narratives demonstrate that women and women’s bodies are not merely used to foster and cultivate male homosociality male friendship and toxic hegemonic masculinity but rather to engender them and make them possible in the first place. Thiede argues that homosocial bonds between divine and mortal males are part of a continual competition for power rank and honor and that this competition depends on women’s bodies for its expression. In a final chapter she also explores whether female characters in the Hebrew Bible use male bodies to form friendships and alliances to advance female power status and rank. The book concludes by arguing that women are essential to the toxic biblical hegemonic masculinity we find in the Hebrew Bible but only because their bodies are used to make it possible in the first place. This book is intended for scholars of the Hebrew Bible as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students in religious studies women and gender studies masculinity studies queer studies and like fields. The book can also be read profitably by lay students of biblical literature seminary students and clergy. | Male Friendship Homosociality and Women in the Hebrew Bible Malignant Fraternities
