Life and Death : Social Perspectives on Biblical Bodies Paperback / softback
Edited by Francesca (University of Exeter, UK) Stavrakopoulou
Part of the The Hebrew Bible in Social Perspective series
Paperback / softback
Description
Life and Death: Social Perspectives on Biblical Bodies explores some of the social, material, and ideological dynamics shaping life and death in both the Hebrew Bible and ancient Israel and Judah.
Analysing topics ranging from the bodily realities of gestation, subsistence, and death, and embodied performances of gender, power, and status, to the imagined realities of post-mortem and divine existence, the essays in this volume offer exciting new trajectories in our understanding of the ways in which embodiment played out in the societies in which the texts of the Hebrew Bible emerged.
