Description

Explore a new perspective on Old Testament poetic texts with Theophany and Chaoskampf. This scholarly work examines the imagery of thunder, lightning, fire, and earthquakes that accompanies YHWH's theophany. While many biblical scholars interpret these elements as simple metaphors, this book challenges that traditional view. By applying modern insights from metaphor theory and myth theory, the text argues that these descriptions make more sense when viewed through the lens of Ancient Near Eastern myths regarding the defeat of chaos. This volume provides a fresh exegetical framework for understanding the Baal Epic, the book of Isaiah, and the Twelve. It is a necessary resource for students and researchers looking to deepen their understanding of the relationship between biblical poetry and ANE mythological backgrounds.
