A propos de cet article

A collection of nine interrelated essays that read the Hebrew Bible through an agrarian lens.Davis, Professor of Bible and Practical Theology at Duke Divinity School, argues that the biblical writers consistently display a deep concern for the health of arable land and the proper relationship between humans, other creatures, and the soil. Agrarianism?defined as ?a way of thinking and ordering life in community that is based on the health of the land and of living creatures??is presented not as a modern method imposed on the text but as a pervasive perspective already present in the Scriptures themselves. The book places biblical texts in sustained conversation with contemporary agrarian writers (especially Wendell Berry, who contributes the foreword, along with Wes Jackson, Norman Wirzba, and others).Davis demonstrates that concern for soil health, sustainable food systems, and the moral character formed by how people treat the land runs throughout the Torah, Prophets, Writings, and poetry. The book has become a foundational text in ecological theology, food ethics, and agrarian biblical interpretation. It is valued for its careful exegesis, engagement with contemporary agrarian thought, and ability to speak both to scholars and to readers concerned with the environmental and social costs of modern agriculture.ABOUT THIS COPY: Softcover. Illustrated with a tree-like artwork in white against a royal blue background with white and blue lettering. Also includes notes, abbreviations and notes.

Description de la boutique

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
