Common Thread --$tSection IV: Conclusion --$tBackmatter 330 $aWhile scholars have often found value in comparing Wisdom and Romans, a comparison of the use of personification in these works has not yet been made, despite the striking parallels between them. Furthermore, while scholars have studied many of these personifications in detail, no one has investigated an individual personification with respect to the general use of the trope in the work. Instead, most of this research focuses on a personification in relation to its nature as either a rhetorical device or a supernatural power. The "Powers" of Personification seeks to push beyond this debate by evaluating the evidence in a different light - that of its purpose within the overall use of personification in the respective work and in comparison with another piece of contemporaneous theological literature. This book proposes that the authors of Wisdom and Romans employ personification to distance God from the origin of evil, to deflect attention away from the problem of righteous suffering to the positive sides of the experience, or to defer the solution for the suffering of the righteous to the future. 410 0$aBeihefte zur Zeitschrift fu?r die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft und die Kunde der a?lteren Kirche ;$vBeiheft 161. 606 $aPersonification in the Bible 610 $aMetaphor. 610 $aPersonification. 610 $aRomans. 610 $aThe Wisdom of Solomon. 610 $aTheodicy. 615 0$aPersonification in the Bible. 676 $a220 700 $aDodson$b Joseph R$01547558 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782770003321 996 $aThe "powers" of personification$93804002 997 $aUNINA
