The five models of the good life he uses are the holy life (the priestly paradigm), the wise life (the sapiential or wisdom paradigm), the just life (the royal paradigm), the serving and suffering life (the prophetic paradigm), and the familial paradigm. Janzen demonstrates that all five paradigms are linked because the familial paradigm represents the comprehensive end of all Old Testament ethics.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Waldemar Janzen</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Old Testament -- Theology</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">241.5</classification> <classification authority="ddc">W161-J35</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0664254101</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/12/_231054974_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/12/_231054974_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070449.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
