Surrounded by Bitterness

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“This work of Phil King is an important and engaging contribution to our understanding of the metaphors describing situations of distress in ancient Hebrew poetry. Using cognitive semantics methods, King identifies and discusses the peculiarities of the metaphors of distress, show[ing] how they reveal distinctive aspects of Israelite thought and also reflect our common experience of embodied human beings. This is a significant, rich, and conclusive application of modern semantics to biblical Hebrew studies.”

Foreword

“Nick Lunn has given us an entirely new perspective on biblical Hebrew poetry. His book is altogether ground breaking, erudite and thorough; it will become the starting point for future scholarly discussion on the subject.”
