Filling a significant gap in our knowledge and understanding of biblical texts, Saul M. Olyan provides this original, accessible analysis of a key form of social relationship. In this thorough and compelling assessment, Olyan analyzes a wide range of texts, including prose narratives, prophetic materials, psalms, pre-Hellenistic wisdom collections, and the Hellenistic-era wisdom book Ben Sira. This in-depth, contextually sensitive, and theoretically engaged study explores how the expectations of friends and family members overlap and differ, examining, among other things, characteristics that make the friend a distinct social actor; failed friendship; and friendships in narratives such as those of Ruth and Naomi, and Jonathan and David. Olyan presents a comprehensive look at what constitutes friendship in the Hebrew Bible.  410 0$aAnchor Yale Bible reference library. 606 $aFriendship$xBiblical teaching 615 0$aFriendship$xBiblical teaching. 676 $a225.81776 700 $aOlyan$b Saul M., $0930440 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157411003321 996 $aFriendship in the Hebrew Bible$92886644 997 $aUNINA
