Dismembering the Whole

Publisher: SBL Press
ISBN: 1628371250
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 440

Book Description
A fresh literary analysis of political polemic in the Bible The Book of Judges ends with a bizarre narrative of sex and violence that starts with a domestic tiff and ends with the decimation of a tribe that is restored by means of abduction and rape. Cynthia Edenburg applies a fresh literary analysis, recent understandings of historical linguistics, and historical geography in her exploration of the origin of the anti-Benjamin polemic found in Judges 19–21, the growth and provenance of the book of Judges, and the shape of the Deuteronomistic History. Her study exposes how Judges 19–21 function as political polemic reflecting not the pre-monarchic period but instead the historical realities of the settlement of Benjamin during the Babylonian and Persian period. Features: Methodological discussions that open each chapter Charts and tables Engagement with current research produced by scholars from around the world

A Divided World

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208

Book Description
The social structure of the Apinaye, a Central Brazilian Indian tribe, has puzzled anthropologists for forty years. Now, in this long-awaited book previously unavailable in English, Roberto Da Matta comprehensively describes Apinaye social life and the dualistic conceptual structure that underlies it. Special attention is given to the organization of daily and ceremonial life, the ideological aspects of kinship, the political system, and the confrontation between the Apinaye and the national Brazilian society. Da Matta then enlarges his account of the Apinaye to suggest a general interpretation of Indian culture in Central Brazil.

Book Description
This book provokes readers into thinking about life in different ways through a combination of stories that may be imaginary and may be from the author’s personal experiences and sobering challenges in life that readers may find unconventional. It exposes readers to unconventional thinking—perspectives that they might not be exposed to or that they somehow deliberately ignore, which causes them and society danger. Filled with thought-provoking scenarios encapsulated in short chapters, the book is a must-read for anyone who is open to gaining knowledge and learning from experience.
