The Song of Songs is featured alongside the prophetic voices of Amos, Hosea and Isaiah, and essays on the Binding of Isaac and on the book of Ruth. Throughout, the emphasis throughout is on the subversiveness, richness and ambiguity of the text, but above all its (often enigmatic) beauty. The thread of psychoanalysis and its metaphorical technique draws together this collection from one of the Bible's most sensitive and distinctive literary critics.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;312.Hebrew poetryHistory and criticismHebrew poetry, BiblicalHistory and criticismElectronic books.Hebrew poetryHistory and criticism.Hebrew poetry, BiblicalHistory and criticism.221.66Landy Francis893006MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453698803321Beauty and the enigma1994624UNINA
