Description: Trickster Revisited : Deception As a Motif in the Pentateuch, Hardcover by Nicholas, Dean Andrew, ISBN 1433102269, ISBN-13 9781433102264, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Though the Bible has long been treasured by many communities of faith for its moral teachings, says Nicholas (Bible, Hebrew, and world religions; Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, Ohio), careful readers encounter lying and trickery everywhere. He says that traditional exegetes try to cover by reading allegorically or inventing mitigating circumstances, but he accepts it and accounts for it within the worldwide tradition of the trickster described by anthropologists. He surveys the appearance of the trickster in Native-American, African, and African-American culture, then turns to its manifestation in the ancient Near East and the Bible. From there he looks at the origins and nature of the Pentateuchal narratives generally, the deuteronomistic history, wife-sister narratives, Jacob narratives, and Exodus. His final chapter explores canon, liminality, and Israelite self-perception as shaped by the trickster. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
