2011ref. 3123Vapriikki 2011. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. In the ancient times when Finns still lived in the forest the annual cycle of the bear's birth and death was the basis of their calendar. Part I of The Year of the Bear starts with the winter and follows the bear through all of the seasons until the following winter from its birth to its ritual slaying and wake. The journey is illustrated with magnificent photographs by award-winning nature photographer Antti Leinonen. The 'honey paw' is presented both as an ancestor worshipped by ancient Finns and as a god who ensured the continuity of the hunting community. The replacement of the bear's year with the calendar of Christian saints is also discussed as are the hunting frenzy that almost brought about its extinction in Finland and the animal's current position as a controversial predator. Biological information about the bear is provided alongside its mythology. In Part II experts from a variety of fields share their thoughts about bears. All authors discuss the exceptional relationship between the bear and man. Answers are sought to many questions including: Is a bear a human or an animal What was the ultimate significance of the bear cult to the ancient human community and how does it still affect the Christian church What are encounters between bears and humans like today and Why does a hunter hunt bears and a nature photographer shoot bears with his camera 190 pp. Text in English.

ref. B9780567681690Paperback / softback. New. The contributions to this volume reflect upon changing paradigms within biblical scholarship and in how biblical scholarship is taught. Taken together they offer a multifaceted and informative indication of how open-mindedness in one's approach can yield fascinating results across the study of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. The range in topic of the contributions is exemplified in the difference between the first chapter which works from the personal anecdote of the changing opinion of its author to make a wider point about models for Pentateuchal formation and the third chapter which comments on the current state of the study of ancient Israel in universities today. Other contributions include; an essay on the subject of space as a social construct in Isaiah 24-27; civil courage and whether the Bible allows room for protest; the question of monotheism in Persian Judah; the historical Ezra and the telling of the story of Joseph Genesis 50: 15-21 in children's Bibles in the Netherlands. The contributors include Hugh Williamson Ehud Ben Zvi Rainer Albertz Karel von der Toorn and Christoph Uehlinger. paperback
