Description

Explore the complex character of Jonathan through a unique lens that connects ancient scripture with contemporary storytelling. In Search of Jonathan, Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer examines how this figure functions as a key literary and theological element in both the biblical texts of 1 Samuel 13-2 Samuel 1 and various works of modern fiction. This scholarly work provides a deep look at how Jonathan is portrayed across different eras. Each chapter begins with an analysis of his characterization within the biblical books of 1-2 Samuel. Following this, the text examines how modern authors interpret and adapt his story. By looking at both traditional literature and modern retellings, readers can see how fiction helps to expand and challenge academic interpretations of this historical figure. This book is an essential resource for those interested in the relationship between religious texts and the evolution of literary characterization.
