Thus, if we can understand God's characteristics of righteousness and justice, we can better understand God. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Hebrew Bible, these aspects of God are not expressed by abstract concepts but by semantic elements within literary structures. From this premise, Joze Krasovec undertakes the present study to put semantics into dialogue with exegesis and theology to illuminate exactly how God's righteousness and justice in the Old Testament should be understood. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the first part of the book, Krasovec analyzes occurrences of the Hebrew root \u003ci\u003eṣdq\u003c\/i\u003e (meaning \u003ci\u003erighteous\u003c\/i\u003e) and other synonyms, working systematically through the entire Old Testament canon. In the second part, he builds off this lexical study with a more broadly exegetical, theological, and philosophical exploration of guilt, punishment, mercy, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Krasovec concludes, among other things, that the biblical writers use righteousness as an expression of God's affection for faithful people, especially those in distress because of persecution. God's righteousness therefore exists in the Hebrew Bible in relation to the righteousness of human individuals and communities. Justice--whether in the form of forgiveness for the penitent or punishment for those who have hardened their hearts against God--is always carried out with the goal of building better community among God's people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49744966222097,"sku":"NGR9780802882110","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49947876262161,"sku":"CIN0802882110VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0802882110.jpg?v=1751138612"},{"product_id":"transformation-of-biblical-proper-names-book-joze-krasovec-9780567688927","title":"The Transformation of Biblical Proper Names","description":"In the transmission we encounter various transformations of biblical proper names. The basic phonetic relationship between Semitic languages on the one hand and non-Semitic languages, like Greek and Latin, on the other hand, is so complex that it was hardly possible to establish a unified tradition in writing biblical proper names within the Greek and Latin cultures. Since the Greek and Latin alphabets are inadequate for transliteration of Semitic languages, authors of Greek and Latin Bibles were utter grammatical and cultural innovators. In Greek and Latin Bibles we note an almost embarrassing number of phonetic variants of proper names. A survey of ancient Greek and Latin Bible translations allows one to trace the boundary between the phonetic transliterations that are justified within Semitic, Greek, and Latin linguistic rules, and those forms that transgress linguistic rules.  The forms of biblical proper names are much more stable and consistent in the Hebrew Bible than in Greek, Latin and other ancient Bible translations. The inexhaustible wealth of variant pronunciations of the same proper names in Greek and Latin translations indicate that Greek and Latin translators and copyists were in general not fluent in Hebrew and did therefore not have sufficient support in a living Hebrew phonetic context. This state affects personal names of rare use to a far greater extent than the geographical names, whose forms are expressed in the oral tradition by a larger circle of the population.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50697213935889,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697217900817,"sku":"NGR9780567688927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52533669789969,"sku":"NLS9780567688927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0567688925.jpg?v=1751462951"},{"product_id":"transformation-of-biblical-proper-names-book-joze-krasovec-9780567452245","title":"The Transformation of Biblical Proper Names","description":"In the transmission we encounter various transformations of biblical proper names.
