Description: Did the Hebrew mind work differently from those of people in the Western tradition of civilization? This long-discredited question still lingers in biblical studies. Theologies of the Mind in Biblical Israel approaches the topic of the Israelite mind from a new direction, exploring how the biblical texts themselves, especially Proverbs and Deuteronomy, describe the working of the mind. It demonstrates that the much-discussed role of memory in the Bible is just one part of a general understanding that in the realm of 'knowledge' God and humanity are rivals. Subjects: Bible, Hebrew Bible / Old Testament, Pentateuch, Deuteronomy, Writings, Literature, Methods, Theological Approaches, Biblical Theology, Hebrew Bible / Old Testament Theology, Psalms
