Rules, wisdom, and prophetic acts : the first function. 330 $aBernhard Lang, known for his contributions over several decades to biblical anthropology, offers in this volume a selection of essays on the life and literature of the ancient Hebrews. The subjects range from the Hebrew God, the world-view of the Bible, and the formation of the scriptural canon, to peasant poverty, women's work, the good life, and prophetic street theatre. The stories of Joseph, Samson, and the expulsion from Paradise are analysed, and in a departure from the Old Testament, the priestly origins of the Eucharist are considered. Insight into the Hebrew mentality is facilitated by the arrangement of the essays, reflecting the three strata of the ancient society: the peasants, with their common concerns of fertility and happiness; warriors, their martial pursuits, and the divine Lord of War; and the wise - prophets, priests, and sages. 410 0$aSociety for Old Testament Study monographs. 606 $aLord's Supper$xBible teaching 615 0$aLord's Supper$xBible teaching. 676 $a221.67 700 $aLang$b Bernhard$f1946-,$0549989 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154602503321 996 $aHebrew life and literature$92104383 997 $aUNINA
