An insightful introduction to the pentateuchal narrative, The Book of the Torah applies trends in narratology from biblical studies, systematic theology, ethics, and hermeneutics to the study of these books.

The Former Prophets of the Hebrew Bible includes the books of Joshua through 2 Kings, a narrative of ancient Israel's history of some seven hundred years from the "conquest" of Canaan to the exile, when Israel lost the land. From a critical perspective the narrative is a composite document incorporating many different literary sources from different times, seen as a whole, the result is a compelling example of ancient historiography as well as...

The first five books of the Bible contain many of its most famous stories, populated by vivid characters altogether human in their triumphs and failings--and an equally complicated deity. Many works of Western art and literature appeal to these stories, from Michelangelo's painting of Adam and Eve to a novel like William Faulkner's Go Down, Moses. The three great Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) are rooted here. So is muc...

Vor diesem Hintergrund versteht sich dieses Buch nicht als klassische Methodenlehre, sondern als praktische Hilfe und arbeitstechnischer Leitfaden für den Studienalltag. Es ri...

n this thoughtful and expansive work Thomas W. Mann analyses the early prophets of the Bible corresponding to Joshua through to Kings. The narrative, with its richly diverse cast of great, good, and sinful characters, is unpicked as Mann draws a number of sensitive conclusions from a vital religious and historical source. Mann persuasively asserts that a thorough understanding of the Judeo-Christian narrative can illuminate our own era by co...

Among the ambiguities, superficialities, uncertainties, and temporality of a contemporary day-to-day, rush-here, rush-there world, Mann beams a revelatory light on the ordinary things--bathing the baby or visiting an elderly day care center--and makes them glow with significance. It is a special gift to be able to uncover the spirituality in the familiar, to disclose the sacred in the ordinary, and the author effortlessly uncovers the epiphani...

Im Dezember 1945 schrieb Thomas Mann jenen berühmten Brief an Theodor W. Adorno über das Prinzip der Montage in seinem Roman Doktor Faustus, verbunden mit der Einladung, gemeinsam »darüber nachzudenken, wie das Werk - ich meine Leverkühns Werk - ungefähr ins Werk zu setzen wäre«. Die enge Zusammenarbeit an den Spätwerken Adrian Leverkühns - Adorno verfaßte detaillierte Entwürfe, die im Anhang des Bandes abgedruckt sind - wurde zur Grundlage di...
