Homer And The Prophets Or Homer And Now (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163145760)

Homer and the Prophets, also known as Homer and Now, is a book written by Cornelia Steketee Hulst. The book explores the connection between the works of the ancient Greek poet Homer and the prophetic books of the Old Testament. Hulst argues that both Homer and the prophets were concerned with the same fundamental questions about human existence, such as the nature of God, the meaning of life, and the role of suffering.The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the works of Homer, including the Iliad and the Odyssey, and explores the themes and motifs that are common to both Homer and the prophetic books. The second part of the book focuses on the prophetic books of the Old Testament, including Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, and shows how they address many of the same questions and concerns as Homer.Throughout the book, Hulst draws on her extensive knowledge of ancient Greek literature and biblical scholarship to provide a nuanced and insightful analysis of the texts. She also makes use of modern literary theory to explore the ways in which these ancient works continue to resonate with contemporary readers.Overall, Homer and the Prophets is a thought-provoking and engaging book that will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of literature, religion, and philosophy.Essays on the Religious and Moral Aspects of Homer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
