{"product_id":"9789042931442","title":"Proverbs. Volume 1 \/ Proverbs 1-9 (Historical Commentary on the Old Testament)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWritten within the historical-critical paradigm, this commentary on Proverbs \n\u003cbr\u003e 1-9 ventures to overcome the bifurcation of \"historical\" and \n\u003cbr\u003e \"literary\" perspectives in biblical interpretation. Avoiding novel \n\u003cbr\u003e propositions about composition as well as claims for alternative reading \n\u003cbr\u003e strategies, it strives to take the text seriously at the philological, \n\u003cbr\u003e structural and compositional levels in order to indicate the book's \n\u003cbr\u003e amplitude and potential. This is done in dialogue with recent and \n\u003cbr\u003e traditional Jewish and Christian readings. The self-description of Wisdom, \n\u003cbr\u003e which has had a hugely eventful reception in the history of Christian \n\u003cbr\u003e doctrine, is particularly striking in this respect. Usually taken to fit \n\u003cbr\u003e uncomfortably into Israel's \"salvation history\", the universal scope of \n\u003cbr\u003e the edited poems directs the reader's eye beyond the history of one nation \n\u003cbr\u003e and turns wisdom's putative dearth into a theological asset. The sages \n\u003cbr\u003e knew the limits of their practical advice and aimed it at ethically living \n\u003cbr\u003e the Fear of God.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52559994749239,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":503.87,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9789042931442-1.jpg?v=1783293544","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9789042931442","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
