Description:
Covering a landscape of literary, theological and cultural creativity, the authors explore the variety of interpretations inspired by Lamentations. The book explores a examples ranging from the Dead Sea Scrolls; Yehudah Halevy; John Calvin; and composer, Thomas Tallis; through to the interpretations of Marc Chagall; contemporary novelist, Cynthia Ozick; and Zimbabwean junk sculpture. It deploys "reception exegesis", a new genre of commentary that creatively blends reception history and biblical exegesis. --From publisher's description.
