  • Speaking of Rape: The Limits of Language in Sexual Violations

    Speaking of Rape: The Limits of Language in Sexual Violations

    Danielle Tumminio Hansen (Author)

    Rape survivors need words to recover and tell their stories. But the words available often fail to describe their experiences, which isolates and silences them, enables future perpetration, and lets rape remain unacknowledged. Tumminio Hansen offers fresh ways of speaking and listening that reframe how we can describe, discuss, and address rape.

  • Proverbs 1-15

    Proverbs 1-15

    Bernd Ulrich Schipper (Author)

    The book of Proverbs is more than the sum of its parts. Even if some proverbs could be older, the overall composition stems from the late Persian or early Hellenistic period. By introducing the scribal student to the foundations of sapiential knowledge and its critical reflection, the book of Proverbs comes close to the critical wisdom of Job and Qohelet. In addition to a detailed exegesis of the biblical text, this commentary presents new parallels from Egyptian wisdom literature.
