From fratricide to forgiveness The language and ethics of anger in Genesis
Schlimm, Matthew Richard
From fratricide to forgiveness The language and ethics of anger in Genesis Matthew Richard Schlimm - Indiana, U.S.A Eisenbrauns 2011 - 242tr. Hardcover 24cm
In the first book of the Bible, every patriarch and many of the matriarchs become angry in significant ways. However, scholars have largely ignored how Genesis treats this emotion, particularly how Genesis functions as Torah by providing ethical instruction about handling this emotion's perplexities. In this important work, Schlimm fills this gap in scholarship, describing (1) the language surrounding anger in the Hebrew Bible, (2) the moral guidance that Genesis offers for engaging anger, and (3) the function of anger as a literary motif in Genesis. Genesis evidences two bookends, which expose readers to the opposite extremes of anger and its effects.
