Download or read book Princess Tamar s Tears written by Norma Evans Barber and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-01-11 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Faces series is an attempt to paint as honestly as possible the faces of characters we read about in the Bible so that readers can identify and relate to the naked, common-life truths that these characters present and hold to the promises that each story or event offers to us as we seek to know and walk with God. Walking through the Bible, an adult Sunday School class enters 11 Samuel 13, a dark room where a princess is found weeping. She has been sexually abused by her half brother while her family members conspire a cover-up. Her own brother, her mothers son, secretly vows revenge on the aggressor as well as on his father, King David. The succeeding chaos multiplies, and Tamar, the victim, sticks her face out of the closet to tell the pain of it all, only to find that her story holds relevant connections to a number of class members and, in fact, to many readers in the contemporary world.

Download or read book Dangerous Sisters of the Hebrew Bible written by Amy Kalmanofsky and published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fathers, sons, and mothers take center stage in the Bibles grand narratives, Amy Kalmanofsky observes. Sisters and sisterhood receive less attention in scholarship but, she argues, play an important role in narratives, revealing anxieties related to desire, agency, and solidarity among women playing out (and playing against) their roles in a patrilineal society. Most often, she shows, sisters are destabilizing figures in narratives about family crisis, where property, patrimony, and the resilience of community boundaries are at risk. Kalmanofsky demonstrates that the particular role of sisters had important narrative effects, revealing previously underappreciated dynamics in Israelite society.
Download or read book Rape Culture Purity Culture and Coercive Control in Teen Girl Bibles written by Caroline Blyth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-10 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating book, Caroline Blyth takes a close look at Bibles marketed to teen girls and asks how these might perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes that lie at the heart of rape culture. The author considers the devotionals, commentaries, and advice sections placed throughout these Bibles, which offer teen girl readers life advice on topics such as friendships, body image, and how to navigate romantic relationships. Within these discussions, there is a strong emphasis on modesty, purity, and sexual passivity as markers of young women’s ‘godliness’. Yet, as the author argues, these gendered ideals are prescribed to readers using rape-supportive discourses and the tactics of coercive control. Moreover, the placement of these various editorial inserts within the pages of sacred scripture gives them considerable power to reinforce deeply harmful ideologies about gender, sexuality, and sexual violence. Given the seeming popularity of these Bibles among Christian teen girls, the need to dismantle their damaging rhetoric is especially urgent. This book will be of particular interest to those studying the Bible, religion, gender, and theology, as well as the general reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long ago when Angragar was the shining light of the human world, elves and humans were allies and trading partners, but that was centuries ago. When the elves ended their siege of the ancient human city, they enshrouded it in an impenetrable jungle and left caretakers to hide it from prying eyes. Now Angragar has awakened, and elves have appeared among the humans. After escaping from the Island of Darkness, the elves, Eltor and Caldal, seek to sail to Elvangar. They need the help of the humans to return to their homeland, but they refuse to divulge its location. The human emperor, Marak, needs the elves to ally with him against the coming evil and strikes a bargain with the elves. Deliver his offer to the queen of the elves and Eltor and Caldal can have a ship to return home.

Download or read book Growing Up in Ancient Israel written by Kristine Henriksen Garroway and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first expansive reference examining the texts and material culture related to children in ancient Israel Growing Up in Ancient Israel uses a child-centered methodology to investigate the world of children in ancient Israel. Where sources from ancient Israel are lacking, the book turns to cross-cultural materials from the ancient Near East as well as archaeological, anthropological, and ethnographic sources. Acknowledging that childhood is both biologically determined and culturally constructed, the book explores conception, birth, infancy, dangers in childhood, the growing child, dress, play, and death. To bridge the gap between the ancient world and today’s world, Kristine Henriksen Garroway introduces examples from contemporary society to illustrate how the Hebrew Bible compares with a Western understanding of children and childhood. Features: More than fifty-five illustrations illuminating the world of the ancient Israelite child An extensive investigation of parental reactions to the high rate of infant mortality and the deaths of infants and children An examination of what the gendering and enculturation process involved for an Israelite child

Book excerpt: Gunn sets out his aim in this book to foster a fresh understanding of the narrative about David in 2 Samuel and 1 Kings, commonly known as the 'Succession Narrative,' by arguing for its fuller appreciation of its nature as a story.

The work is to be considered primarily artistic and literary, and the rhetorical devices in the story are reliant on traditional motifs and devices.
