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.  aReligion -- Biblical Studies -- Old Testament  a211001 TKH  c5927d5927  00104070aTVCDbTVCDd2026-01-20g0.00l0pTVCD-5927v0.00yBK
