Frank Moore Cross Livres
Frank Moore Cross Jr. fut un érudit essentiel dans l'interprétation des Manuscrits de la mer Morte et de l'épigraphie sémitique du nord-ouest. Son travail a exploré en profondeur les textes anciens, cherchant à en comprendre les contextes historiques et linguistiques. La contribution durable de Cross réside dans sa méthodologie rigoureuse et son profond impact sur notre compréhension de la littérature et de la religion hébraïques primitives.
From Epic to Canon
History and Literature in Ancient Israel
In From Epic to Canon, Cross discusses specific issues that illuminate central questions about the Hebrew Bible and those who created and preserved it. He challenges the persistent attempt to read Protestant theological polemic against law into ancient Israel. Cross uncovers the continuities between the institutions of kinship and of covenant which he describes as "extended kinship." He examines the social structures of ancient Israel and reveals that beneath later social and cultural accretions, the concept of covenant - as opposed to codified law - was a vital part of Israel's earliest institutions. He then draws parallels between the expression of kinship and covenant among the Israelites and that among other ancient societies, as well as in primitive societies.
