Opis produktu

Jacqueline Vayntrub is Assistant Professor of Hebrew Bible at Yale University USALaura Quick is Assistant Professor of Religion and Judaic Studies at Princeton University USA.Dr. Amy Willis is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Lynchburg College in Virginia.Explores the rhetoric of divine sovereignty in the visions and apocalypses of Daniel.Investigates the theology and ideology of rule in this second century B.C.E. text demonstrating that the ideology of rule in Daniel is undergoing a shift concerning foreign rule and its ability to represent the divine will.Reframes the way in which apocalyptic texts express and resolve cognitive dissonance.This study of the book of Daniel examines the ideology of divine and human rule in Daniels historical resumes or reviews found in chaps 2 7 8 9 1012. It seeks to uncover the concerns that motivate the resumes and the strategies the resumes use to resolve cognitive and experiential dissonance. Willis argues that the source of dissonance in Daniel stems not from failed prophecies (as has been commonly argued) nor do the visions function as symbolic theodicies to address a contradiction between divine power and divine goodness in the face evil. The study proposes instead that the historical resumes address profound contradictions concerning divine power and presence in the face of Hellenistic/Seleucid rule. These contradictions reach a crisis point in Daniel 8s depiction of the desecration of the temple (typically Daniel 8 is seen as a poor replica of the triumphant vision of divine power found in Daniel 7). This crisis of divine absence is addressed both within the vision of chap 8 itself and then in the following visions of chaps 9 and 1012 through the use of narrative (both mythological narrative and historical narrative).Examines the ideology of divine and human rule in Daniels historical resumes or reviews found in chaps 2 7 8 9 1012.Acknowledgements Chapter One A Powerful and Present God?
