Download or read book The Art of Biblical Narrative written by Robert Alter and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From celebrated translator of the Hebrew Bible Robert Alter, the "groundbreaking" (Los Angeles Times) book that explores the Bible as literature, a winner of the National Jewish Book Award. Renowned critic and translator Robert Alter's The Art of Biblical Narrative has radically expanded our view of the Bible by recasting it as a work of literary art deserving studied criticism. In this seminal work, Alter describes how the Hebrew Bible's many authors used innovative literary styles and devices such as parallelism, contrastive dialogue, and narrative tempo to tell one of the most revolutionary stories of all time: the revelation of a single God. In so doing, Alter shows, these writers reshaped not only history, but also the art of storytelling itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "First published in 1836, Prolegomeni ad una grammatica ragionata della lingua ebraica, is perhaps the most important grammatical work of the influential Italian scholar Samuel David Luzzatto (1800-1865). Never reprinted, and never before fully translated, this long inaccessible work has become almost unknown. Intended to serve as an introduction to a comprehensive Hebrew grammar, the book is replete with information and innovative insights that are still valuable to contemporary scholars. Moreover, in addition a complete translation with copious annotations, Aaron Rubin's edition of Luzzatto's Prolegomeni contains an appendix consisting of biographical sketches of the roughly 275 Hebrew scholars mentioned by Luzzatto. This book will be of great value to anyone interested in the Hebrew language and its fascinating history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Two Living Traditions written by Samuel Sandmel and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays which have appeared over a period of two decades in various journals and anthologies are brought together in this volume. From his unique position as a Jewish scholar of the New Testament, Dr. Sandmel has written A Jewish Understanding of the New Testament, We Jews and Jesus, The First Christian Century, The Genius of Paul and The Hebrew Scriptures, among his many previous books. This collection brings together an important body of his work that has been all but inaccessible to the general reader and often difficult for the scholar to locate. The essays reflect not only the author's particular bent in scholarship, but a viewpoint toward both academic matters and matters touching on Jewish-Christian relations. They show both the growth of his career in biblical scholarship and some measure of its influence on other scholars. Some selections have been often cited in scholarly writings (such as "Parallelomania") and others ("The Haggada Within Scripture") demonstrate new approaches to interpretation. Primarily, the volume demonstrates the fresh and vital approach to many questions of interest to the specialist and layman alike from a scholar who has become, through his writings, a pivotal figure in Jewish-Christian understanding.

Download or read book The David Story A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel written by Robert Alter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.
