Download or read book Reading Gender in Judges written by Shelley L. Birdsong and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2023-04-21 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the content of Judges can be understood only when read together with other parts of the Hebrew Bible. Narratives in Judges comment, criticize, and reinterpret other texts from across what became the canon, often by troubling gender, disrupting stereotypical binaries, and creating a kind of gender chaos. This volume brings together gender criticism and intertextuality, methods that logically align with intersectional lenses, to draw attention to how race, ethnicity, class, religion, ability, sex, and sexuality all play a role in how one is gendered in the book of Judges. Contributors Elizabeth H. P. Backfish, Shelley L. Birdsong, Zev Farber, Serge Frolov, Susanne Gillmayr-Bucher, Susan E. Haddox, Hyun Chul Paul Kim, Richard D. Nelson, Pamela J. W. Nourse, Tammi J. Schneider, Joy A. Schroeder, Soo Kim Sweeney, Rannfrid I. Lasine Thelle, J. Cornelis de Vos, Jennifer J. Williams, and Gregory T. K. Wong provide substantial new and significant contributions to the study of gender, the book of Judges, and biblical hermeneutics in general. This volume illustrates why biblical scholars and students need to take the intersectional identities of characters and their intertextual environments seriously.
Download or read book Fresh Bread from the Pastor s Table written by Joel S. McGraw and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joel McGraw is a pastor at heart with a yen for writing. He writes from more than theory, but as a living "practitioner." He was born the youngest of 13 children on a farm in Conecuh County, Alabama, during the Great Depression. He did not wait until college for Cooperative Education. He began "co-oping" in pre-school and continued through grade school, college, and grad school where he earned his Master of Ministry Degree. Pastor Joel's writing is punctuated with gutsy life-workables. He believes a "disappointing" detour in his academic education early in his ministry proved to be a valuable God-send. During that "interruption" he worked gathering, writing, and reporting news and feature stories to help "support my preaching habit." He did corresponding for Associated Press and United Press International, and a couple of dailies, Mobile Press-Register and Montgomery Advertiser. His employers at the local radio station and newspaper in Evergreen, Alabama, were his competent instructors. This writer sees the "body of Christ" as multi-national, multi-denominational, and multi-racial. He is founding pastor of Faith Chapel, an International Pentecostal Holiness Church, in Huntsville, Alabama, where he has pastored and "pastured" for more than 40 years. He has been involved in and led in worship and people-care across many denominations, has assisted in hospital chaplaincy, led in city wide prayer gatherings, and served in leadership in various ministerial groups. For more than 20 years McGraw was a daily radio voice sharing God's Word, practical life helps, and interviews with other pastors and life-care professionals. He and his wife, Janelle Barbee McGraw, have three children - Steven McGraw, David McGraw, and LaNita McGraw Eby - who with their families are all committed Christians. [email protected]

Download or read book Samson Hero or Fool written by Erik M.M. Eynikel and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samson is a peculiar character. He is the most powerful of the Israelite judges and three whole chapters in the book of Judges are allocated to him. Yet he demonstrates many weaknesses, not least for the charms of women. In the international conference “Samson: Hero or Fool?” organised at the University of Nijmegen in April, 2008, the texts of Judges 16-18 were studied from different perspectives, investigating how the complex character of this (anti)hero lived on in various ways in the later traditions about him. The contributions discuss also the reception history of the Samson traditions in later Jewish, Christian and Islamic literature, as well as his representation in figurative and performing arts
Download or read book Reimagining Delilah s Afterlives as Femme Fatale written by Caroline Blyth and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Samson and Delilah in Judges 16 has been studied and retold over the centuries by biblical interpreters, artists, musicians, filmmakers and writers. Within these scholarly and cultural retellings, Delilah is frequently fashioned as the quintessential femme fatale - the shamelessly seductive 'fatal woman' whose sexual treachery ultimately leads to Samson's downfall. Yet these ubiquitous portrayals of Delilah as femme fatale tend to eclipse the many other viable readings of her character that lie, underexplored, within the ambiguity-laden narrative of Judges 16 - interpretations that offer alternative and more sympathetic portrayals of her biblical persona. In Reimagining Delilah's Afterlives as Femme Fatale, Caroline Blyth guides readers through an in-depth exploration of Delilah's afterlives as femme fatale in both biblical interpretation and popular culture, tracing the social and historical factors that may have inspired them. She then considers alternative afterlives for Delilah's character, using as inspiration both the Judges 16 narrative and a number of cultural texts which deconstruct traditional understandings of the femme fatale, thereby inviting readers to view this iconic biblical character in new and fascinating lights.

This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the reciprocal relationship between the Bible and popular culture has blossomed in the past few decades, and the time seems ripe for a broadly-conceived work that assesses the current state of the field, offers examples of work in that field, and suggests future directions for further study. This Handbook includes a wide range of topics organized under several broad themes, including biblical characters (such as Adam, Eve, David and Jesus) and themes (like Creation, Hell, and Apocalyptic) in popular culture; the Bible in popular cultural genres (for example, film, comics, and Jazz); and "lived" examples (such as museums and theme parks). The Handbook concludes with a section taking stock of methodologies and the impact of the field on teaching and publishing. The Oxford Handbook of the Bible and American Popular Culture represents a major contribution to the field by some of its leading practitioners, and will be a key resource for the future development of the study of both the Bible and its role in American popular culture.
Download or read book Judges written by Serge Frolov and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-22 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This commentary is the eighteenth published volume in The Forms of the Old Testament Literature (FOTL), a series that aims to present a form-critical analysis of the books and units in the Hebrew Bible. Serge Frolov's valuable study of Judges, addressing both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, offers the first full-scale form-critical treatment of Judges since 1922 and represents an important application of form criticism as practiced today. Fundamentally exegetical, Frolov's work examines the structure, genre, setting, and intention of Judges. Focusing on the canonical Hebrew text, Frolov argues that what we know as the book of Judges is not a literary unit but rather a series of interconnected units that are for the most part closely linked to adjoining books. In particular, he shows how the sequence "apostasy-oppression-repentance-deliverance" traverses the boundary between Judges and Samuel. Frolov also analyzes the history behind the form-critical discussion of this book and exposes the exegetical process so as to enable students and pastors to engage in their own analysis and interpretation of Judges.
