Pulsating with anxiety over the empire--Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian--the prophet corpus is a disturbing cultural expression of lament and chaos. Danger, disjunction, and disaster bubble beneath the surface of virtually every prophetic text. Sometimes in denial, sometimes in despair, and sometimes in defiance, the readers of this literature find themselves living at the edge of time, immediately before, during, or after the collapse of longstanding symbolic, cultural, and geo-political structures. These written prophecies not only reflect the social location of trauma, but are also a complex response. More specifically, prophetic texts are thick meaning-making maps, tapestries of hope that help at-risk communities survive.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50032047128849,"sku":"CIN0687465656VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50948929782033,"sku":"GOR013041485","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50953259876625,"sku":"CIN0687465656G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50984067301649,"sku":"NIN9780687465651","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52657881252113,"sku":"NLS9780687465651","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53114202751249,"sku":"GOR012367594","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0687465656.jpg?v=1781171617"},{"product_id":"reading-isaiah-book-hyun-chul-paul-kim-9781573129251","title":"Reading Isaiah","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEngaging with theological messages of the book of Isaiah as a unified whole, the volume of the Reading the Old Testament series will both illuminate and inspire readers to wrestle with its theological implications for today's church and society.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this commentary, Hyun Chul Paul Kim brings together innovative interpretive approaches and the proposals of various scholars to interpret the book of Isaiah in light of the ancient literature\/culture, intertextual allusions\/correlations, and socio-historical contexts of the empires.

He deftly combines the details of a diachronic, or historical, analysis of the various elements of the book with an overarching synchronic, or literary, perspective that unites the book as a whole. His work is fundamentally intertextual in that it explores the relationships between Isaiah and ancient and contemporary worlds. This accessible commentary will both prompt and enable students to engage this endlessly fascinating book. -\u003cb\u003eMarvin A.

The first section traces and reassesses the multifaceted aspects relevant to the historical settings of the ancient texts, writers, and worlds. The second section describes the comparative analysis of biblical literature, with inner-biblical or non-biblical texts, not only to improve textual meanings but also to deepen the relationship between biblical texts and their contexts. The final section highlights theological approaches to the Hebrew Bible, addressing the themes of Jewish theology, justice, theophany, loss, and trauma, while confronting significant ethical and theological challenges.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52596902723857,"sku":"NLS9783161617904","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783161617904.jpg?v=1761073392"},{"product_id":"ambiguity-tension-and-multiplicity-in-deutero-isaiah-book-hyun-chul-paul-kim-9780820462134","title":"Ambiguity, Tension, and Multiplicity in Deutero-Isaiah","description":"Does Isaiah 40-55 convey a unified message on the relationship between Israel and the nations? This book argues that Isaiah 40-55 contains the texts and concepts of both universalism and particularism. Examining four select texts (42:1-13; 44:24-45:8; 49:22-26; 51:1-8) with special attention given to their textuality, intertextuality, and infratextuality (conceptuality), Hyun Chul Paul Kim suggests the existence of both unified conceptuality and diverse signifiers. Through synchronic and diachronic analyses, this work uncovers the intentional ambiguity, tension, and multiplicity on the concept of the servant's identity as well as other key concepts, how these diverse concepts can be read with respect to authorial intention, and what the implications are for the ongoing debates on the unity and diversity of the book of Isaiah.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52685058801937,"sku":"NLS9780820462134","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780820462134.jpg?v=1762324578"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-hyun-chul-paul-kim.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
