Contributors draw examples from different biblical texts, including Genesis, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah, Psalms, Jonah, and Daniel, to illustrate the transformation from short, individual prayers to longer theological and historical reflections, ritualized recitations, confirmations of hope, prophecy, and penitential prayers. Essays approach the texts from different perspectives, showing how prayers play a key role in the construction of biblical bboks, how biblical figures are charaterized by prayers, and how these prayers shape and modify individual and collective identity discourses. 630 00 $a Bible $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 630 00 $a Bible. $p Old Testament $x Criticism, interpretation, etc. 650 0 $a Jews $x Identity. 650 0 $a Identification (Religion) 630 07 $a Bible. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01356024 630 07 $a Bible. $p Old Testament. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01808092 650 7 $a Identification (Religion) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00966872 650 7 $a Jews $x Identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983278 650 7 $a Prayers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074737 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 700 1 $a Gillmayr-Bucher, Susanne, $d 1962- $e editor. 700 1 $a HaÂusl, Maria, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Prayers and the construction of Israelite identity. $d Atlanta : SBL Press, 2019 $z 9780884143673 $w (OCoLC)1084618341 $w (OCoLC)1084618341 830 0 $a Ancient Israel and its literature ; $v no. 35. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021025123.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC20AB5AB05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
