Building upon Hans-Georg Gadamers assertion that there are two complementary pathways to understanding and knowledge: science and art, Koci embarks on a comprehensive exploration of these two domains. In her quest to uphold the legacy of the great hermeneutist, Koci delves into both topics, arguing that while science conducts a historical-critical analysis of the \"Promised Land\" motif in the Hebrew Bible and its subsequent receptions, art enriches the interpretation with its literary illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume specifically highlights American contexts, as the concept of the \"Promised Land\" is intricately intertwined with American religious-political mythologies, and with the art of John Steinbeck and Walter Brueggemann, in particular. By examining artistic interpretations in biblical hermeneutics, Koci explores the context and reception of Genesis 15.7 and Exodus 3.8 in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, as well as the history of the \"Promised Land\" motif and its various interpretations. Through this comprehensive analysis, Koci argues that artistic receptions of biblical motifs hold immense significance for biblical scholarship, as they open up new hermeneutical and thematic horizons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 574g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 x 243 x 22 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780567696298\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KaterinaKoci","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094416060666,"sku":"9780567696298","price":50.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/e10a15eeb0d8a53845c7c534d34c391d.jpg?v=1633486795","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/land-without-promise-the-roots-and-afterlife-of-one-biblical-allusion","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
