{"product_id":"crossing-the-jordan-1","title":"Crossing the Jordan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a test case for diachronic and synchronic approaches in Joshua 3-4.\u003cbr\u003eLee introduces the synchronic readings of Polzin, Hawk and Winther-Nielsen, as well as their attempts to uncover the problems in applying their methods to this complicated text. He then investigates the differences between the MT and the LXX of Joshua 3-4 through text critical analysis and reconstructs the Hebrew Vorlage of LXX - Joshua 3-4 considering divergences between major Greek editions; and examines the limitations of Polzin's synchronic study in reading only from the final text of the MT. For the purpose of reading the literary history of Joshua 3-4 in a diachronic way, Lee considers what position this text holds in the setting of the wider context of the ark narratives and water-crossing stories in the Old Testament, e.g. the crossing of the Red Sea in Exodus 13.17-14.31 and with Elijah and Elisha crossing the river in 2 kings 2. He examines the recent trends in literary criticism and attempts to trace the most probable literary history of Joshua 3-4.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223528296792,"sku":"9780567657169","price":47.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780567657169_14f41b6e-3846-45fd-a7b0-455571aa3efc.jpg?v=1777086071","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/crossing-the-jordan-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
