{"product_id":"eschatology-in-genesis-jonathan-huddleston-9783161519833","title":"Eschatology in Genesis","description":"In this study, Jonathan Huddleston examines Genesis as a rhetorical whole, addressing Persian-era Judean expectations. While some have contrasted Genesis' account of origins with prophetic accounts of the future, literary and historical evidence suggests that Genesis narrates Israel's origins precisely in order to ground Judea's hopes for an eschatological restoration. Promises to the ancestors semiotically apply to those who preserved, composed, and received the text of Genesis. Judea imagines its mythic destiny as a great nation exemplifying and spreading blessing among the families of the earth. Genesis' vision of Israel's destiny coheres with the postexilic prophetic eschatology, identifying Israel as a precious seed to carry forward promises of a yet-to-be-realized creation fruitfulness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Huddleston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3161519833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783161519833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mohr Siebeck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs","brand":"Jonathan Huddleston","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113821483263,"sku":"9783161519833","price":112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a176c099-6fe0-4eb5-8b30-e52a57526be9.jpg?v=1769617436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eschatology-in-genesis-jonathan-huddleston-9783161519833","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
