Book excerpt: "Recent scholarship has demonstrated the value of speech act theory for biblical studies; for example, the studies of Walter Houston, Jim Adams, and Steven Mann have established its worth for Old Testament studies, exploring the declarative power of the prophetic word and the formative power of self-involved readings of the text. Additionally, John Searle and Daniel Vanderveken note that illocutionary acts seldom occur alone but rather in larger speech acts. The biblical text is replete with these larger speech acts; the book of Jeremiah provides an excellent example of such complicated larger speech acts. How, then, are we to study these complex speech acts? How can understanding these complex speech acts better inform our understanding of a text and of how a larger text employs smaller text portions or smaller illocutions within that complex speech act? In this study, I propose that speech act theory can help us understand complex texts and begin to answer these questions. More specifically, I propose that a more complex use of speech act theory--a multilevel speech approach--can help us study complex speech acts, such as the text of Jeremiah, by identifying the multiple smaller speech acts which make up the more complex speech acts. Furthermore, such an approach informs the understanding of both the smaller and larger speech acts and how the larger, more complex speech act employs the smaller speech acts toward the formation of the more complex act. In order to test and demonstrate this multilevel speech act approach, I will apply it to the oracle against Babylon in MT Jer 50-51 and examine the illocutionary force of that oracle at some of its performative levels"--

Download or read book The Oracles Against Babylon in Jeremiah 50 51 written by David James Reimer and published by Mellen University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the study of Jeremiah chapters 50-51 has focused on two questions: was this the authentic word of Jeremiah? and what was their structure? Given the advances in the understanding of Hebrew poetry, the alleged growth of the biblical text, the language of prophetic speech, and the history of the exile, these chapters are ripe for renewed study. This thesis investigates Jeremiah 50-51 in four parts: poetry and structure; text and tradition; forms and images; and that which is related to anti-Babylonian traditions.
Download or read book Battle of the Gods The God of Israel Versus Marduk of Babylon written by Kessler and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is a literary study of the oracles against Babylon in Jeremiah chapters 50-51. They form the climax of the foreign oracle collection in the book of Jeremiah. Included are a survey of early scholarship on these chapters, a discussion of genres and motifs, verbal components, and a succinct survey of the historical context. However, the major emphasis is directed to the dynamic of these oracles as a literary creation with a message. That message is directed to Judah and Israel, who are urged to flee a doomed city with its idolatrous civilization, and to return to their homeland, to Jerusalem, to enter a permanent covenant with YHWH the God of their fathers. Throughout, the literature is discussed in its natural contexts: within the oracle collection in Jeremiah, in comparison with the Isaian oracles against Babylon, and within the canonical book of Jeremiah, demonstrating the climactic position of these oracles.
