The papers explore the subject of the complex anthropomorphisms in the biblical books, with relation to God’s biblical bodies, human biblical bodies, divine bodies, human bodies, and today’s reader.This approach is viewed as innovative and separate from much previous biblical scholarship which centred on spiritual interpretations of bodies, especially the metaphysical interpretation of the divine body ... This volume combines a desire to discuss overarching issues about the use of the human form within biblical theology with attention to specific texts and topics relevant to the study of the Hebrew Bible. -- Mary E.
