This remarkable collaboration sets the words of a distinguished biblical scholar  Andr LaCocque  and those of a leading philosopher  Paul Ricoeur  in dialogue around six crucial passages from the Old Testament: the story of Adam and Eve; the commandment \"thou shalt not kill\"; the valley of dry bones passage from Ezekiel; Psalm 22; the Song of Songs; and the naming of God in Exodus 3:14. Commenting on these texts  LaCocque and Ricoeur provide a wealth of new insights into the meaning of the different genres of the Old Testament as these made their way into and were transformed by the New Testament.  LaCocques commentaries employ a historical-critical method that takes into account archaeological  philological  and historical research. LaCocque includes in his essays historical information about the dynamic tradition of reading scripture  opening his exegesis to developments and enrichments subsequent to the production of the original literary text. Ricoeur also takes into account the relation between the texts and the historical communities that read and interpreted them  but he broadens his scope to include philosophical speculation. His commentaries highlight the metaphorical structure of the passages and how they have served as catalysts for philosophical thinking from the Greeks to the modern age.  This extraordinary literary and historical venture reads the Bible through two different but complementary lenses  revealing the familiar texts as vibrant  philosophically consequential  and unceasingly absorbing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44947356090421,"sku":"ByrdShop_0226713377","price":226.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780226713373.jpg?v=1770010600","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/thinking-biblically-exegetical-and-hermeneutical-studies","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
