160 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A collection of essays exploring the ways in which Psalm 29 has been used and understood in both the Jewish and Christian traditions throughout the ages.Psalm 29, a sacred text in Jewish and Christian Bibles, has been understood in a variety of ways through time and in different traditions. This volume presents a sample of the use and meaning derived from a single biblical text. From the earliest translations to contemporary African Independent Churches, this psalm has been an integral part of synagogue and church; but what it has meant and how it is used is a fascinating journey through human culture. Not only the understanding of the written word, but also the liturgical use and the musical adaptations of a biblical text are considered here. This is a book for anyone-scholar, student, or laity-with an interest in the Bible in its many contexts.
