{"product_id":"masculinity-and-the-bible-peter-ben-smit-9789004345577","title":"Masculinity and the Bible: Survey, Models, and Perspectives","description":"Most characters in the Bible are men, yet they are hardly analysed as such. \u003ci\u003eMasculinity and the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e provides the first comprehensive survey of approaches that remedy this situation. These are studies that utilize insights from the field of masculinity studies to further biblical studies. The volume offers a representative overview of both fields and presents a new exegesis of a well-known biblical text (Mark 6) to show how this approach leads to new insights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy presenting the field of masculinity studies, the volume performs a service for those working in biblical studies and related disciplines, but have not explored this approach yet. At the same time, the volume shows, by surveying the past two decades of publications in the field, what results have been achieved so far and where open questions remain. In the exegesis of Mark 6, it becomes clear that one of these challenges, the often very specific and intersectional character of masculinity, can be addressed successfully when consciously combining approaches such as narrative and ritual analyses. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter-Ben Smit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004345574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004345577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Peter-Ben Smit","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46974686200063,"sku":"9789004345577","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8c12345-ad20-4197-a812-1262ac3d9fff.jpg?v=1750875764","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/masculinity-and-the-bible-peter-ben-smit-9789004345577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
