Old Testament studies in Japan. 330 $aWestern biblical studies have tended to follow either faith-based theological approaches or value-free historical-critical methods. This monograph challenges the two extremes by pursuing the middle path of philosophical hermeneutics. While drawing on Eastern and Western philosophical writings from ancient to modern times, the author proposes original interpretive solutions to a wide range of important biblical texts, including the Akedah, Second Isaiah, the Decalogue, Qohelet, Job, and Jeremiah. Yet, this is not a collection of antiquarian studies. Readers will also gain fresh and stimulating perspectives concerning monotheism, religious faith and identity, suffering and salvation, and modern and postmodern ethics. Finally, in a supplementary essay, the author introduces readers to the history of Old Testament studies in Japan, and he outlines prospects for the future. 410 0$aBeihefte zur Zeitschrift fu?r die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft ;$v458. 606 $3(DE-601)106200259$3(DE-588)4045791-6$aPhilosophie$2gnd 606 $aRELIGION / Christianity / Literature & the Arts$2bisacsh 610 $aJapanese Biblical Studies. 610 $aMonotheism. 610 $aOld Testament. 610 $aPhilosophy. 615 7$aPhilosophie 615 7$aRELIGION / Christianity / Literature & the Arts. 676 $a221.6 686 $aBH 3330$2rvk 700 $aSekine$b Seizo$01496189 701 $aShort$b J.
