{"product_id":"9781907534331","title":"A Critical Engagement","description":"This volume honours the distinctive contribution to Hebrew\u003cbr\u003eBible studies over four decades by Cheryl Exum, Professor\u003cbr\u003eEmerita of Biblical Studies in the University of Sheffield. Her special interests have lain, first, in the modern literary criticism of the Hebrew Bible, where her key work was\u003cbr\u003eTragedy and Biblical Narrative: Arrows of the Almighty.\u003cbr\u003eAsecond area has been feminist criticism of the Hebrew Bible;\u003cbr\u003ehere her notable contributions were Fragmented Women:\u003cbr\u003eFeminist (Sub)versions of Biblical Narratives and Plotted,\u003cbr\u003eShot, and Painted: Cultural Representations of Biblical\u003cbr\u003eWomen. A more recent, and now almost favourite, theme is the\u003cbr\u003eBible and cultural studies, especially the Bible and art. Key works here have been a series of edited volumes, such as\u003cbr\u003eBeyond the Biblical Horizon: The Bible and the Arts, and The\u003cbr\u003eBible in Film \/ The Bible and Film. Her fourth area of continuing interest has been the Song of Songs, with many articles culminating in her perceptive commentary in the Old\u003cbr\u003eTestament Library series.\u003cbr\u003eIn this rich volume, 25 of her friends and colleagues offer her papers on all these themes. Several are on or around the Song of Songs (Graeme Auld, Fiona Black, David Clines, Sara\u003cbr\u003eJaphet, Martti Nissinen, Yair Zakovitch), and topics of feminist interest (Yairah Amit, Athalya Brenner, Claudia\u003cbr\u003eCamp, Hugh Pyper, Jack Sasson). Cultural studies are represented by Alice Bach, Hans Barstad, Andrew Davies,\u003cbr\u003eDavid Gunn, Martin O'Kane, John Sawyer and Ellen van\u003cbr\u003eWolde, and literary criticism by Michael Fox, Edwin Good,\u003cbr\u003eNorman Gottwald, Edward Greenstein, Francis Landy, Burke\u003cbr\u003eLong and Hugh Williamson.","brand":"Sheffield Phoenix Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061401633008,"sku":"9781907534331","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907534331_p0.jpg?v=1763618735","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907534331","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
