The point of departure for this study is a type-scene analysis which reveals a common structure to theophany narratives. Beginning with the separation of the protagonist from human society, the text moves to a visual and verbal revelation by the Deity, and records a range of human reactions to the experience. Each of the texts concludes with a description of a more externalized reaction, which marks the carrying over of the experience into a larger societal framework. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe analysis develops the underlying structural and contentual similarity among texts which have traditionally been understood as belonging to different literary genres. The discussion offers a nuanced treatment of the range of literary strategies employed by the narrative for addressing these elements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn addition to a detailed analysis of each of the above components of the type-scene, there is discussion of issues such as the idea of the lethal nature of the encounter and intertextual relations between the narratives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJSOTS 420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Savran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567043916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567043917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e T\u0026amp;T Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"George Savran","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065022230783,"sku":"9780567043917","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0094068b-c439-4959-aa0e-d93bd8540c23.jpg?v=1768672619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/encountering-the-divine-george-savran-9780567043917","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
