Title: Bonds of love: methodic studies of prophetic texts with marriage imagery (Isaiah 50:1-3 and 54: 1-10, Hosea 1-3, Jeremiah 2-3). Studia Semitica Neerlandica
Description: Assen, Van Gordum, 1999. 281 pp. As new. Hardcover. The accent in this study is on method: historical and biographical categories such as ‘the prophet’ and ‘his career’ are left aside in order to concentrate on the composition and internal cohesion of the text. The reading strategy developed in this book is both synchronic and communication-oriented. Since prophetic texts essentially consist of speech, it is insufficient to study the text in abstraction from the audience that it addresses. The texts have a communication purpose, and a three-part model is developed in order to investigate the communication effects of the text on the implied audience and the contemporary reader.
