Memory and Covenant

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Barat Ellman’s book explores the meanings and functions of memory in biblical religion with theoretical sophistication and literary sensitivity. More than before is memory seen as integral to the religion of the Torah and its major themes. Though focused on the religious worldviews of the priestly and deuteronomic schools, the book takes virtually the entire Hebrew Bible into account. A very significant contribution to the study of biblical literature and religion.”

Reading Biblical Narratives

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Reading Biblical Narratives Professor Amit provides an introduction to the subject that is broad in its approach, specific in its illustrations, and always engaging in its presentation. She takes the reader on a delightful journey through a wide range of texts and literary topics. One gets a superb sense of the hows and the whys of biblical storytelling the way one does in a well-designed course: step-by-step, learning technique without too much technicality. The book is ideal for college courses and the general reader. Bible scholars, too, will be interested in Amit's often novel takes on familiar tales.”

Redefining Job and the Conundrum of Suffering

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Steeped in traditional interpretations, philosophically attuned, psychologically sensitive, scientifically informed, Adams—in her modern Christian perspective on Job—seeks a theological understanding of suffering that is considerate of and perhaps even comforting to people who suffer. A special feature is Adams’ attention to outlooks and sources behind and beyond the Abrahamic religions.”
