Signs of Jonah: Reading and Rereading in Ancient Yehud

Ehud Ben Zvi

4.9/5 (29452 ratings)

Description:Ben Zvi starts with the premise that Jonah, like most books, was written to be read. He therefore concentrates on intended and unintended readership(s) of Jonah and the network of messages that they were likely to derive through their reading and rereading. He starts with the historical and social matrix of the production and reading of the book in antiquity and analyses its self-critical approach and its metaprophetic character as a comment on the genre of prophetic books and on prophets. How does the historical fact of Nineveh's destruction actually shape the reading? Or the perception of Jonah as a runaway slave? Ben Zvi demonstrates the malleability of interpretation of the Book of Jonah and its limitations, as attested in different communities of readers .He asks why certain messages are easily accepted by particular historical communities, whereas others are not raised at all.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
