NEW! The Bible's Many Voices (Michael Carasik)

[R. Mansfield]

In addition to The Commentators' Bible (also released today), we are also pleased to announce Carasik's The Bible's Many Voices. 

 

Using historic, linguistic, anthropological, and theological sources, Carasik helps us distinguish between the Jewish Bible’s voices—the mythic, the historical, the prophetic, the theological, and the legal. By articulating the differences among these voices, he shows us not just their messages and meanings but also what mattered to the authors. In these contrasts we encounter the Bible anew, as a living work whose many voices tell us about the world out of which the Bible grew—and the world that it created.

Not everyone is going to agree with the theological stance your post manifests.  Some will object to saying, "the Jewish Bible," others to saying, "the mythic."

I don't think "mythic" is the same as fictional--usually that refers more to a genre, without necessarily implying an evaluation of something's historicity. (Though it may be impossible for it to totally lose its "fictional" connotations.)

Time to sack the proofreaders again.

Rick's post is a reflection of the author's description of his own work.

If this is a correction, please use the Report a Correction feature as this helps us find it, file it, and direct it to the correct person. This typo was probably in the etext that we received, as I cannot imagine that we introduced it.

 

Actually, I cannot find it in any module so where did you see it?

[Julie Palmer]

It was on the product page. "born" should have been "ben". They are corrected.

[Alistair]

where did you see it?

Julie beat me to it, the typo was on the web page.

Thanks rick. Great site.

 

If anyone is still thinking about this publication, it is worth listening to his podcasts on the chapters ( he's up to chapter 8) so you should get a good feeling if this is relevant for you before the sale ends.
