Bruin, Tom de: The Great Controversy

The Individual's Struggle Between Good and Evil in the 'Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs' and in their Jewish and Christian Contexts. Tom de Bruin examines the twelve monologues as literary products in order to understand the function of the text for the setting in which it was composed. He approaches T12P from three directions: an analysis of the paraenetic parts, a discussion of the anthropology, and a comparative examination of other contemporaneous works documenting a world-view similar to T12P.These three approaches merge into a detailed discussion about the reasoning behind the admonition in T12P, and identifies the fundamental message of the text, namely that each person stands between the forces of good and evil and that this person is called to constantly decide which way to follow. 264 Seiten, gebunden (Novum testamentum et orbis antiquus/Studien zur Umwelt des Neuen Testaments; Vol. 106/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2015) leichte Lagerspuren, Buchrücken minimal bestoßen
