So contends Calum Carmichael in this original and incisive reading of some of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament's most famous narratives. Sifting through the imaginative layers of these texts with an uncanny sensitivity and a panoptic critical eye, he unearths patterns connecting disparate passages, providing fascinating insights into how ideas were expressed, received, and transformed in the ancient Near East. Ranging from Jacob's encounter with Leah to the marriage at Cana to Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well, these readings demonstrate the remarkable subtlety and sophistication of the biblical views on marriage, sexuality, fertility, impurity, creation, and love. 606 $aSex$xBiblical teaching 606 $aSex in the Bible 615 0$aSex$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aSex in the Bible. 676 $a220.8/3067 700 $aCarmichael$b Calum M$0289727 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786139403321 996 $aSex and religion in the Bible$93715328 997 $aUNINA
