Professor Christine Hayes guides her readers through the complexities of this polyphonous literature that has served as a foundational pillar of Western civilization, underscoring the variety and even disparities among the voices that speak in the biblical texts.Biblical authors wrote in many contexts and responded to a sweeping range of crises and questions concerning issues that were political, economic, historical, cultural, philosophical, religious, and moral. In probing chapters devoted to each of the 24 books of the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, Hayes reconstructs the meanings and messages of each book and encourages a deeper appreciation of the historical and cultural settings of ancient biblical literature"--cProvided by publisher.  aIncludes bibliographical references and index.  aDescription based on print version record.00aBible.pO.T.vIntroductions. 7aRELIGION / Biblical Commentary / Old Testament.2bisacsh 7aHISTORY / Civilization.2bisacsh 7aLITERARY CRITICISM / Ancient & Classical.2bisacsh 7aRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old Testament2bisacsh 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:z9780300181791z0300181795w(DLC)  2012022003 0aOpen Yale courses series.403EBSCOhostuhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=497692  aYBP Library ServicesbYANKn9812259  aEBSCOhostbEBSCn497692  acpp1723AUTO  a02bN$T  c51839d51839
