Exegeting a text--burrowing deep into its history, language, and literary structure--is an indispensable skill for any serious student of the Bible. Given their theological richness and poetic power, the prophetic texts of the Hebrew Bible would seem to be prime candidates for exegetical examination, but they often pose difficulty. In this book, James Nogalski offers solid, practical guidance on how to read and exegete a prophetic text in its literary, historical, and conceptual contexts. Assuming no prior knowledge of Hebrew, Nogalski devises an exegetical method that focuses on the distinctive elements of prophetic literature, rather than on the narrative material one finds in practically all introductions to exegesis. He provides clear examples for understanding poetic texts, prophetic genres, changing voices, and other important aspects of these texts. This book offers essential tools to help readers navigate the particular challenges and opportunities of interpreting the prophets. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

In the primer Interpreting Prophetic Literature: Historical and Exegetical Tools for Reading the Prophets, James Nogalski, offers an impressive kit to help you out. Rather than being an introduction to each and every prophetic book or containing verse-by-verse commentaries, it shows structures, parallels and linguistic concepts which are hidden when you only superficially read these books. As a tool for exegis (what's written here), and only introduce possible approaches to hermeneutics (how to apply the message), the book shows genres, protagonists, historical context and likely genesis of the scrolls.
Much attention is given to the Latter Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve minor prophets), composite collections containing speeches, commentary, narratives, and various poetic forms. The transmission, shaping, and updating of these materials into their final forms. A deep understanding of Hebrew is not required for this book. Nogaliski challenges his audience to read the prophets for themselves, watch for patterns, and decide what could be a good or better translation for a specific piece of text. It may surprise you how effective certain linguistic structures are, how little of the prophetic literature actually points (in)directly to Jesus Christ, and actually how relevant these ancient books are for contemporary congregations of believers.
