{"product_id":"battered-love-renita-weems-9780800629489","title":"Battered Love","description":"Weems's pioneering study explores the puzzling ways in which the Hebrew prophets' portrayals of divine love, compassion, and conventional commitment often became associated with battery, infidelity, and the rape and mutilation of women. She wrestles with the prophets' rhetoric and sexual metaphors to uncover Israelite social structures, asking, \"What is implied about women, men, and God by the language that the prophets use to describe the covenant between Yahweh and Israel?\" This provocative work by a leading African American biblical scholar delves deeply into issues of intimacy and power, violence and control, seduction and betrayal, and is a searing indictment of the axial points of Israelite religion-its covenantal and prophetic traditions-and their authority today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Renita Weems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0800629485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780800629489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Augsburg Fortress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.40d","brand":"Renita Weems","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047785885951,"sku":"9780800629489","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d86ba354-2442-4427-a440-b49beb1efccb.jpg?v=1684992168","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/battered-love-renita-weems-9780800629489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
