Gordon P. Hugenberger

NO OF PAGES: 414 SUB CAT I: Marriage SUB CAT II: Tanach SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Robert Gordon notes that "a number of arguments have been proposed against the interpretation of the covenant in Malachi 2:14 as a marriage covenant". In this book, Gordon Hugenberger responds to these objections and argues effectively for the validity of the marriage interpretation. Originally published by E.J. Brill, this North American edition is part of Baker's Biblical Studies Library. November '98 show more publication date. Hugenberger's mastery of all scholarship on the issue of marriage in the Bible and in the ancient near east is extremely impressive. Every argument in the book is well thought out and proven; every counter point that may be raised is present. This book is invaluable for a scholar wishing to deal with the particular issues of Biblical marriage as well as the broader topic of biblical law and theology. However, the book is a little difficult to read and I personally would not recommend it for the casual reader. Its density is however, a substantial benefit for the researcher.NOTES: Donated anonymously during the first BH book drive. SUBTITLE: Biblical Law and Ethics as Developed from Malachi show less
