The metaphor is a hallmark of Classical Hebrew poetry. Some metaphors, such as “Yhwh is king” or “Yhwh is warrior,” play a foundational role. The same does not hold for metaphors from the fishing industry. Because they had access to only two major freshwater sources, archaeological research demonstrates that this industry did not play a major socioeconomic role in ancient Israel. Fishing has nevertheless made a substantial contribution to prophetic and wisdom literature. All metaphors manifest reality, but given the physical circumstances of a largely agrarian, nonmarine society, what does the sustained presentation of fishing metaphors in the Hebrew Bible communicate?Examining the use of fishing images in the Hebrew Bible is a formidable task that demands an open mind and a capacity to mine the gamut of contemporaneous evidence. In Fishers of Fish and Fishers of Men, Tyler Yoder presents the first literary study devoted to the fishing images used in the Hebrew Scriptures as well as in the Mesopotamian textual records. This calls for a penetrating look into cultural contact with Israel’s neighbors to the east (Mesopotamia) and southwest (Egypt). Though nearly all fishing metaphors in the Hebrew Bible carry overt royal or divine connotations that mirror uses well-attested in Mesopotamian literature, this comparative analysis remains a largely untapped area of research. In this study of the diverse literary qualities of fishing images, Yoder offers a holistic understanding of how one integral component of ancient Near Eastern society affected the whole, bringing together the assemblage of disparate materials related to this field of study to enable scholars to integrate these data into related research and move the conversation forward.

The central theme of the book is the relationship between a hero or cultural icon and the cultures in which he or she is venerated. On one hand, a hero cannot remain a static character if he or she is to appeal to diverse and dynamic communities. On the other hand, a traditional icon should retain some basic features in order to remain recognizable. Joshua son of Nun is an iconic figure of Israelite cultural memory described at length in the Hebrew Bible and venerated in numerous religious traditions. This book uses Joshua as a test case. It tackles reception and redaction history, focusing on the use and development of Joshua’s character and the deployment of his various images in the narratives and texts of several religious traditions. I look for continuities and discontinuities between traditions, as well as cross-pollination and polemic. The first two chapters look at Joshua’s portrayal in biblical literature, using both synchronic (literary analysis) as well as diachronic (Überlieferungsgeschichte and redaction/source criticism) methodologies. The other four chapters focus on the reception history of Joshua in Second Temple and Hellenistic Jewish literature, in the medieval (Arabic) Samaritan Book of Joshua, in the New Testament and Church Fathers, and in Rabbinic literature.

Iedereen die wel eens een bijbelpassage onder ogen krijgt, merkt dat sommige woorden meer betekenen dan op het eerste oog duidelijk is. Bij brood en wijn, lam en schaap is dat algemeen bekend. Maar daarnaast kunnen ook alledaagse woorden als wolk, ladder, muur en lamp een symbolische lading hebben. Symbolen in de bijbel is een handboek bij de beeldtaal van de bijbel. Op overzichtelijke wijze presenteren de auteurs eerst de concrete betekenis van een woord en daarna de waartoe dat woord aanleiding heeft gegeven. Eens te meer wordt duidelijk dat over god alleen in metaforen te spreken valt. Zo geeft dit naslagwerk een nieuwe toegang tot de betekenis van belangrijke beelden uit de bijbel. Bij elk behandeld woord vindt de lezer verwijzingen naar Nederlandse poëzie, liederen uit de christelijke traditie en praktische suggesties voor thematische verwerking in het onderwijs of op gesprekskringen. Daarmee combineert dit handboek een literaire ontsluiting van de bijbel, met een uiterst handzame introductie in bijbelse manieren van denken en kijken
