Conceptualizing Biblical Cities

A Stylistic Study

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the city image in the Hebrew Bible, this book introduces a novel framework informed by spatial theory to analyze the concept of 'city.' It challenges traditional views by demonstrating that biblical cities are not inherently evil or feminine and reveals that the metaphorical language describing Jerusalem is similar to that used for other cities. This comprehensive study is aimed at students and scholars interested in stylistics, urban studies, critical-spatial theory, and biblical studies, particularly in Biblical Hebrew.
