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.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Matthew Richard Schlimm</note> <subject> <topic>Religion -- Biblical Studies -- Old Testament</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">222.110815247</classification> <classification authority="ddc">M437-S34</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781575062242</identifier> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070409.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
