Sexual and Marital metaphors in Hosea, Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel - Couverture rigide
Livre 23 sur 64: Oxford Theology and Religion Monographs
Synopsis
Sharon Moughtin-Mumby considers the often unrecognised impact of different approaches to metaphor on readings of the prophtic sexual and marital metaphorical language. She outlines a practical and consciously simplified approach to metaphor, placing strong emphasis on the influence of literary context on metaphorical meaning. Drawing on this approach, she read Hosea 4-14, Jeremiah 2:1-4:4, Isaiah, Ezekiel 16 and 23, and Hosea 1-3 with fresh eyes. Her lucid new readings reveal the way in which scholarship has repeatedly stifled the prophetic metaphorical language by reading it within the 'default contexts' of 'the marriage metaphor' and 'cultic prostitution', which for so many years have been simply assumed. Readers are encouraged instead to read these diverse metaphors and similes within their distinctive literary contexts in which they have the potential to rise vividly to life, provoking the question: how are we to respond to these disquieting, powerful texts in the midst of the Hebrew Bible?

Revue de presse
Stimulating monograph... The work certainly succeeds in demonstrating 'the sheer variety and innovation of the prophetic sexual and marital metaphorical language'(p.48) and argues convincingly for the importance of reading such passages without the straightjacket which has often been imposed upon them. (A.H.W. Curtis, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament)
offers important lessons for students seeking to understand the complexity and diversity behind the prophetic sexual metaphor. The discerning reader will come away with a fuller understanding (Monica Jyotsna Melanchthon, Biblical Interpretation)
Moughtin-Mumby establishes herself as a cooperative reader of some scurilous biblical texts, and shows how, in the face of their appalling misogyny and sexual violence, an honest reading can lead to their deconstruction and even be a source of hope. (Adrian Thatcher, Journal for the Study of Marriage and Spirituality.)
Moughtin-Mumby's study provides a valuable rereading of several disconcerting prophetic texts, is replete with attentive and worthwhile observations, and should be considered a volume worthy of much contemplation in future investigations into the sexual and marital metaphorical language of the prophetic books. (Jeremy M. Hutton, Scottish Journal of Theology)

Often, such language is used to speak of the worship of gods other than Yhwh, of undesirable cultic practices, or of political alliances with foreign nations. Evaluating several schools of language and biblical criticism, including a traditional approach, a feminist critique and a literary-historical investigation, Moughtin-Mumby brings lucid new readings with a fresh perspective to these dramatic texts. The study emphasizes the importance of context for understanding metaphorical meaning and challenges previous scholarship which has read such language in terms of the traditional concept of "the marriage metaphor" and the hypothetical background of cultic prostitution.
