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. 410 0$aJournal for the study of the Old Testament.$pSupplement series ;$v312. 606 $aHebrew poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHebrew poetry, Biblical$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHebrew poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHebrew poetry, Biblical$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a221.66 700 $aLandy$b Francis$0893006 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453698803321 996 $aBeauty and the enigma$91994624 997 $aUNINA
