The theme is highlighted in studies on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Paul, Josephus, rabbinic literature, art and philosophy. The contributions demonstrate that Sinai, as the location of the revelation, soon became less significant than the narratives that developed about what happened there. Those narratives were themselves transformed, not least to explain problems regarding the text's plain sense. Miraculous theophany, anthropomorphisms, the role of Moses, and the response of Israel were all handled with exegetical skills mustered by each new generation of readers. Furthermore, the content of the revelation, especially the covenant, was rethought in philosophical, political, and theological ways. This collection of studies is especially useful in showing something of the complexity of how scriptural traditions remain authoritative and lively for those who appeal to them from very different contexts. 410 0$aThemes in biblical narrative ;$vv. 12. 606 $aRevelation on Sinai 606 $aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJews$xHistory$y168 B.C.-135 A.D 606 $aJewish philosophy 615 0$aRevelation on Sinai. 615 0$aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJewish philosophy. 676 $a221.6 701 $aBrooke$b George J$0294179 701 $aNajman$b Hindy$01613160 701 $aStuckenbruck$b Loren T$01642496 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817136403321 996 $aThe significance of Sinai$94191779 997 $aUNINA
