Στην ιστοσελίδα The Bible and Interpretation έχει αναρτηθεί ένα νέο σύντομο κείμενο της καθ. της Π.Δ. στο Θεολογικό Σεμινάριο του Lancaster Julia M. O'Brien με θέμα τη σπουδαιότητα των λεγόμενων Μικρών Προφητών (αλλά και όλων των προφητικών βιβλίων της Π.Δ. γενικότερα). Από το κείμενο σταχυολογούμε δύο ενδιαφέροντα κατά τη γνώμη μας σημεία:
"I’m not particularly interested in the historical Amos, and I don’t think I want to know the historical Nahum. When I analyze how a book portrays a prophet, I’m not looking for clues to an actual person. Rather, I’m trying to understand the rhetorical and ideological interests of the writer(s), as well as their interaction with the ideological interests of readers. How does this text imagine the world and what are the social, political, and ethical implications of that construal? What work might this text have done in the ancient world? What work does it do on contemporary readers? ...The ideological weight of prophetic books, it seems, is not just the concern of academics. But academics can offer careful analysis about how and why the prophets are being used the way they are. What assumptions allow someone to move directly from the ending of Amos to specific land claims? Does the rest of the book complicate that understanding? Is Jonah truly an anti-nationalist manifesto? What is the ideological import of this tale of a reluctant prophet?"Για να διαβάσετε ολόκληρο το κείμενο, πατήστε εδώ.
