{"product_id":"9780567656568","title":"Elohim within the Psalms : Petitioning the Creator to Order Chaos in Oral-Derived Literature (The Library of Hebrew Bible\/old Testament Studies)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe issue of the so-called Elohistic Psalter has intrigued biblical scholars since the rise of the historical-critical enterprise. Scholars have attempted to discover why the name Elohim is used almost exclusively within Pss 42-83, and in particular they have attempted to identify the historical circumstances which explain this phenomenon. Traditionally, an original Yhwh was understood to have been replaced by Elohim. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrank-Lothar Hossfeld and the late Erich Zenger propose that the use of the title Elohim is theologically motivated, and they account for this phenomenon in their redaction-historical work. Wardlaw here builds upon their work (1) by integrating insights from Dell Hymes, William Miles Foley, and Susan Niditch with regard to oral-traditional cultures, and (2) by following the text-linguistic approach of Eep Talstra and Christof Hardmeier and listening to canonical texture as a faithful witness to Israel's religious traditions. Wardlaw proposes that the name Elohim within the Psalms is a theologically-laden term, and that its usage is related to pentateuchal traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T.\u0026 T.Clark Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49113190891747,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780567656568-1.jpg?v=1788344559","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9780567656568","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
