Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nile and Jordan: Being the Archaeological and Historical Inter-Relations Between Egypt and Canaan, From the Earliest Times to the Fall of Jerusalem N 0 one possessed with any reverence for antiquity can stand on the summit of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh, and allow his eyes to wander over the vast prospect at his feet, without having his imagination powerfully stirred. The sight of the Nile threading its way from the far recesses of the mysterious South, fertilizing the desert sands, and disclosing its presence by the belt of emerald green on either bank, throws the mind back into the long pre-christian centuries with their imperishable associations. What master pieces oi civilization, what renowned exploits, what celebrated cities, what world - famous names are linked to that river flowing at one's feet from the heart of Equatorial Africa! Then if one turns eastward, the eye ranges across the level expanse of the Delta to where the horizon melts into nothingness. But the observer knows that yonder towards the sunrising lie the land of Goshen, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Wilderness of the Wandering. Beyond these he remembers that further to the north is Canaan, which to the imagina tion of the toiling Hebrews was the land flowing with milk and honey. And thus he associates the two countries, Egypt in her royal magnificence, Palestine in her sweet rural beauty. The object of this book is to trace the various links which united these two contiguous territories, from the earliest times till the fall of Jerusalem in a.d. 70. It is a long story, covering at least seven millenniums, and-crowded with detail. The mere collecting of the facts, scattered over more than volumes and journals, has entailed many years of research, in the scanty leisure available to one with constant professional duties as a minister in a city charge. It is more than likely that many important aspects of the inter-relations between Egypt and Canaan have inadvertently been overlooked, and that books and articles which should have been consulted have been unwittingly neglected. But the volume is a serious attempt to fill a gap in the literature of the two countries which as yet has not been occupied. Further excavations in both lands will unquestionably greatly extend our knowledge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Egyptian Cultural Icons in Midrash written by Rivka Ulmer and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rabbinic midrash included Egyptian religious concepts. These textual images are compared to Egyptian culture. Midrash is analyzed from a cross-cultural perspective utilizing insights from the discipline of Egyptology. Egyptian textual icons in rabbinic texts are analyzed in their Egyptian context. Rabbinic knowledge concerning Egypt included: Alexandrian teachers are mentioned in rabbinic texts; Rabbis traveled to Alexandria; Alexandrian Jews traveled to Israel; trade relations existed; Egyptian, as well as Roman and Byzantine, artifacts relating to Egypt. Egyptian elements in the rabbinic discourse: the Nile inundation, the Greco-Roman Nile god, festivals, mummy portraits, funeral customs, language, Pharaohs, Cleopatra VII, magic, the gods Isis and Serapis. The hermeneutical role of Egyptian cultural icons in midrash is explored. Methods applied: comparative literature; semiotics; notions of time and space; the dialectical model of Theodor Adorno; theories of cultural identity by Jürgen Habermas; iconography (Mary Hamer); landscape theory; embodied fragments of memory (Jan Assmann).

This series emphasizes a thorough analysis of textual, linguistic, structural, and theological evidence. The result is judicious and balanced insight into the meanings of the text in the framework of biblical theology. These widely acclaimed commentaries serve as exceptional resources for the professional theologian and instructor, the seminary or university student, the working minister, and everyone concerned with building theological understanding from a solid base of biblical scholarship. Overview of Commentary Organization Introduction—covers issues pertaining to the whole book, including context, date, authorship, composition, interpretive issues, purpose, and theology. Each section of the commentary includes: Pericope Bibliography—a helpful resource containing the most important works that pertain to each particular pericope. Translation—the author’s own translation of the biblical text, reflecting the end result of exegesis and attending to Hebrew and Greek idiomatic usage of words, phrases, and tenses, yet in reasonably good English. Notes—the author’s notes to the translation that address any textual variants, grammatical forms, syntactical constructions, basic meanings of words, and problems of translation. Form/Structure/Setting—a discussion of redaction, genre, sources, and tradition as they concern the origin of the pericope, its canonical form, and its relation to the biblical and extra-biblical contexts in order to illuminate the structure and character of the pericope. Rhetorical or compositional features important to understanding the passage are also introduced here. Comment—verse-by-verse interpretation of the text and dialogue with other interpreters, engaging with current opinion and scholarly research. Explanation—brings together all the results of the discussion in previous sections to expose the meaning and intention of the text at several levels: (1) within the context of the book itself; (2) its meaning in the OT or NT; (3) its place in the entire canon; (4) theological relevance to broader OT or NT issues. General Bibliography—occurring at the end of each volume, this extensive bibliographycontains all sources used anywhere in the commentary.
