| Description: |
A novel historical and literary analysis of the Old Testament, showing how an understanding of the cultural milieu in which the Ancient Israelites read the texts reveals new insights into their significance and meaning. |
| Synopsis: |
Suggesting new ways to read Old Testament narrative and giving reasons why we should, Esler, with the aid of Mediterranean anthropology, sets out an approach that helps us to interpret a selection of narratives with a cultural understanding close to that of an ancient Israelite. Interpreted in this way, these narratives allow us to refresh the memory that links us with pivotal stories in Jewish and Christian identities and how they foster our capacity for intercultural understanding. |
