https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/17542
Título : Hebrew forms of address : a sociolinguistic analysis
Autor : Kim, Bok Young
Resumen : Resumen: This book is the culmination of a decade-long research project exploring the intricate
usage of forms of address in Biblical and Epigraphic Hebrew. Various
aspects of this research were presented at annual meetings of the Society of Biblical
Literature in 2020, 2021, and 2022. I am deeply grateful for the valuable
feedback provided by colleagues and friends, which played a crucial role in refining
my ideas and contributing to the overall development of this project.
I extend my special appreciation to Jeffrey Stackert for his encouragement to
publish this work in the Ancient Near East Monographs series, and to Nicole L.
Tilford for her valuable contributions in curating the project with SBL Press. I am
also deeply thankful for the invaluable feedback and meticulous observations provided
by two anonymous reviewers, which greatly enhanced the quality of the
manuscript and shaped its final version.
I am immensely grateful to my esteemed former teachers, who provided me
with exceptional instruction in the fields of philology and linguistics. Their expertise
and guidance have been invaluable in shaping my academic journey. I
extend my sincere gratitude to the following individuals for their remarkable contributions
to my education: Dennis Pardee, Rebecca Hasselbach-Andee, Lenore
Grenoble, the late Norman Golb, David Scholen, Stuart Creason, Michael Sells,
Kay Heikkinen, Stephen Kaufman, Samuel Greengus, the late David Weisberg,
Miles Van Pelt, John Currid, Alastair McEwen, and Stephen Voorwinde. Their
teachings have left a lasting impact on my scholarly pursuits, and I truly appreciate
their dedication and wisdom.
To my dear friend, Chip Hardy, I wholeheartedly extend my appreciation for
being a constant source of encouragement and unwavering support since my arrival
in Chicago. His presence in my life has been invaluable. I’m also deeply
appreciative of Benjamin Noonan for his friendship and encouragement throughout
the journey of this book. Our countless conversations in the Klau Library at
Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, OH, are cherished memories. I would also
like to give special thanks to Lee and Mary Ann Cope, who have gone above and
beyond their duty, exemplifying the essence of true Christian friendship since my
family and I arrived in the United States. Their kindness and support have meant
the world to us.2023-01-01T00:00:00ZJeremiah’s egypt prophetic reflections on the saite period
https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/16596
Título : Jeremiah’s egypt prophetic reflections on the saite period
Autor : Wilson Wright, Aren M.
Resumen : The book of Jeremiah exhibits several symptoms of what might be called
“Egyptomania.” It contains more references to Egypt than any other
book of the Hebrew Bible except Genesis and Exodus and mentions
Egypt more often than any other foreign nation except Babylon. Many
of these references are highly specific, touching on Egyptian geography (Jer 2:16), religious practices (Jer 46:25), and military and political
decisions (Jer 37:5).1 Jeremiah 42:1–43:7 even preserves a tradition that
the prophet Jeremiah relocated to Egypt following the assassination
of Gedaliah, the Babylonian appointed governor of Judah. The reason
for this “Egyptomania,” as I will argue throughout this book, is primarily historical. As recent scholarship on Egyptian-Israelite interaction
has shown, the pharaohs of the Twenty-Sixth or Saite Dynasty2 (664–
525 BCE) ruled Judah as a vassal state for much of the late seventh and
early sixth centuries BCE—the time period during which the book of
Jeremiah first began to take shape. My goal in this book, therefore, is
to interpret the book of Jeremiah in light of this historical background.
Focusing on the experiences of Judahites living under Egyptian rule, I
argue, changes how we read and interpret the book of Jeremiah in three
important ways: it helps explain the antipathy toward Egypt evident in
several passages of this prophetic work; it provides a historical anchor
for redactional approaches to dating the text; and it places the work’s repeated calls for submission to Babylon in a different light. These calls do
not present a choice between Judahite autonomy and Babylonian domination, but rather a choice between Egyptian and Babylonian control...2023-01-01T00:00:00ZYHWH's divine images: a cognitive approach
https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/14974
Título : YHWH's divine images: a cognitive approach
Autor : McClellan, Daniel O.
Resumen : My primary target audience with this book is scholars and students—formal and
informal—of the Bible and of religion more broadly, as well as cognitive
scientists of religion and cognitive linguists. As someone trained in biblical
studies but adopting methodologies from the cognitive sciences, I don’t believe
I’ll ever fully shake the sense of imposter syndrome from presuming to have
something to say about fields in which I am not a specialist. However, I have been
reassured by many kind and generous scholars from across these fields that that’s
just the nature of interdisciplinary research. I have tried to widen the scope of
accessibility of this book to include interested laypeople, whom I hope can also
find some value in it. I anticipate some readers will approach this book from a
devotional perspective, while others will approach it from a perspective adjacent
to a devotional one, and still others in the absence of any such perspective. Though
I write as a faithful Latter-day Saint, this book is strictly academic, and I have
made a concerted effort to recognize and mitigate the potential influence of any
devotional lenses that may color my methodologies and my readings. There is
certainly no conscious attempt on my part to promote any particular theological
perspective in this book, though I do offer some critiques of the influence on the
scholarship of certain theological sensitivities (including from my own tradition).
Having said that, I suspect there are ways the book will horrify my coreligionists
as well as others who are suspicious that I’m just trying to import Mormonism
wholesale into the Bible. If such criticisms come in from all sides, I’ll consider
that a win.
One of the goals of this book is to begin to disrupt some of the scholarly
conventions that are common to the study of the Hebrew Bible. As a subtle and
yet influential means of structuring power and values, terminology is precisely
one of those conventions. As a result, this book will be somewhat idiosyncratic in
the terms it employs, and I’d like to take the opportunity here to explain myself. I
begin with perhaps the least idiosyncratic terminological choice: I render the
proper name of Israel’s patron deity as YHWH, with the consonants of the
Tetragrammaton in all caps (normally a standard when transcribing unvocalized
names from ancient Southwest Asia)...2022-01-01T00:00:00ZBiblical and ancient near eastern studies in honor of P. Kyle Mccarter jr.
https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/14120
Título : Biblical and ancient near eastern studies in honor of P. Kyle Mccarter jr.
Autor : Rollston, Christopher A. (ed.); Garfein, Susanna (ed.); Walls, Neal H. (ed.)
Resumen : The breadth of P. Kyle McCarter Jr.’s teaching is particularly impressive. For example, as part of the three-year history cycle (a year of Mesopotamian history, a
year of Egyptian history, and a year of Syro-Palestinian history) at Johns Hopkins
University, Kyle consistently taught the Syro-Palestinian history course. This
course was a foundational course for all graduate students in the program. Kyle
would cover not only the history of the Levant, but he would also integrate much
of Mesopotamian and Egyptian history because of the many ways in which the
history of the entire region intersected at so many levels. He also often taught the
Dead Sea Scrolls, historical Hebrew grammar, Ugaritic, textual criticism of the
Hebrew Bible (with emphasis not just on variant readings in the Masoretic Text,
but also the textual evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls, LXX, and the Vulgate),
Northwest Semitic Epigraphy (with a full repertoire, for example, of Phoenician,
Hebrew, Aramaic, Moabite, Ammonite texts), the Canaanite of the Amarna Letters, and, of course, various biblical text courses in the original languages. On
occasion, upon first arriving at Hopkins from the University of Virginia, he even
taught Akkadian. This was not all, of course—he also taught a course in the history of medicine, a course which was especially in demand among pre-meds. For
many years, he even taught a master’s course in the Arthurian legends. Although
he never taught a course in the writings of Mark Twain, he certainly could have,
since he would often regale us with apt quotes from Twain. Indeed, the breadth of
Kyle’s knowledge knows no bounds...2022-01-01T00:00:00Z
