Book Synopsis Material Culture of the Bible by : Ferdinand Deist

Download or read book Material Culture of the Bible written by Ferdinand Deist and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2000-07-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholarly discussions of biblical interpretation often ignore the fact that language and literature form an integral part of a people's culture, that interpretation therefore implies the total cultural system of the relevant literature, and that biblical interpretation consequently implies inter-cultural communication. This book explores the theoretical and practical implications of this observation from a cultural anthropological perspective, looks at recent anthropological studies of ancient Israelite society, supplies practical examples of a cultural interpretation of ancient Hebrew narratives, and discusses the impact of the notions 'cultural relativity' and 'inter-cultural communication' for biblical interpretation.
