Conceptualizing Biblical Cities

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the representation of cities in the Hebrew Bible, this book employs spatial theory to create a novel analytical framework. It challenges traditional views by demonstrating that biblical cities are not inherently evil or feminine and highlights the similarities in metaphorical imagery for Jerusalem and other cities. The comprehensive examination of stylistics and conceptual images offers valuable insights for students and scholars in stylistics, urban studies, critical-spatial theory, and biblical studies, particularly in Biblical Hebrew.
