The Symbolism of the Biblical World: Ancient Near Eastern Iconography and the Book of Psalms

Передняя обложка
Eisenbrauns, 1997 - Всего страниц: 422
When Othmar Keel's book first appeared in Germany in 1972, it was a pioneering study, the first to compare systematically the conceptual world of a biblical book with that of ancient Near Eastern iconography. First translated into English in 1978, the book has proven its lasting value for exegesis of the Psalms, the comparative study of the Bible and its world, and the study of ancient Near Eastern art and iconography.
