Roland Meynet has a unique textual interpretation method used for Old Testament texts. In Called to Freedom, Meynet teaches readers this unique biblical rhetoric, guiding readers through a new, original study on the ancient Semitic world. By demonstrating that freedom is the driving force behind all of Israel’s religious experience and history, Meynet helps readers to a new understanding of the books of Mosaic Law, the experience of Israel in Exodus, and even the interpretation of the psalms as hymns of freedom. This work makes an important contribution to the field of biblical studies, covering a topic especially relevant for modern society.
In the Logos edition, all Scripture passages in Called to Freedom are tagged, appear on mouseover, and link to your favorite Bible translation in your library. With Logos’ advanced features, you can perform powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference—finding, for example, every mention of “slavery” or “faithfulness.”
With its primary focus upon freedom within the context of Israelite history, Professor Meynet’s Called to Freedom is a work of seminal and impressive biblical scholarship that will be of special interest to theologians and non-specialist readers alike.
