Adopting discourse analysis and text-linguistic approaches, Chan attempts to tackle the Melchizedek texts in Genesis 14, Psalm 110, and Hebrews 5-7. This seminal study illustrates how the mysterious figure is understood and interpreted by later biblical writers, "... Using the "blessing" motif as a framework, Chan also argues that Numbers 22-24, 2 Samuel 7 and the Psalter: Books I-V (especially Psalms 1-2) provide a reading paradigm of interpreting Psalm 110. In addition, the structure of Hebrews provides a clue to how the author interprets the Old Testament texts.RELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / GeneralbisacshElectronic books.Melchizedek, Biblical Interpretation, Biblical Studies.RELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / General.221.92Chan Alan Kam-Yau886742Alan KamYau Chan, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996308759703316Melchizedek passages in the Bible1980400UNISA04344nam 22005651 450 991096035410332120200124110340.097807556974720755697472978178673386317867338629781786723864178672386710.5040/9780755697472(CKB)3840000000342630(MiAaPQ)EBC5260154(OCoLC)1021883137(UtOrBLW)bpp09265065(UtOrBLW)BP9780755697472BC(Perlego)916492(EXLCZ)99384000000034263020200131d2010 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierMamluk history through architecture monuments, culture and politics in Medieval Egypt and Syria /by Nasser RabbatFirst edition.London ;New York :I.B.

Not only do Mamluk buildings embody one of the most outstanding medieval architectural traditions, Mamluk architecture is actually a key to the social history of the period. Analysing Mamluk constructions as a form of communication and documentation as well as a cultural index, "Mamluk History Through Architecture" shows how the buildings mirror the complex - and historically unique - military, political, social and financial structures of Mamluk society. With this original and authoritative study, Nasser Rabbat offers an innovative approach to the history of the Mamluks - through readings of the spectacular architecture of the period. Drawing on examples from throughout both Egypt and Syria, from the Citadel and Al-Azhar Mosque of Cairo to the Mausoleum of al-Zahir Baybars in Damascus, Rabbat demonstrates how Mamluk architecture served to reinforce visually the spirit of the counter-Crusade, when the Muslim world rebounded from the setbacks of the First Crusade. Both holistically and in case studies, Rabbat demonstrates how history is inscribed into and reflected by a culture's artefacts. This is a groundbreaking work in the study of architecture and social history in the Middle East and beyond."--Bloomsbury Publishing.Architecture, MamelukeEgyptHistoryTo 1500Architecture, MamelukeSyriaHistoryTo 1500Architectural structure & designBICArchitecture, MamelukeHistoryArchitecture, MamelukeHistoryArchitectural structure & design.720.9560902Rabbat Nasser O.689459UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910960354103321Mamluk history through architecture4341995UNINA
