The Evasive Text - Zechariah 1-8 and the Frustrated Reader

Informationen zum Autor Mark Cameron Love is Assistant Professor of Euro-American Studies! Gachon Medical School! Incheon! Korea. Klappentext This work employs an eclectic mix of structuralist and post-structuralist theories in a doomed attempt to discover the symbolic logic at work in Zechariah 1-8's surreal narrative world. Lengthy analyses of Zechariah's intra- and intertextual logic! or lack thereof! are presented. It is finally concluded that Zechariah lacks a concrete symbolic logic! defies grammatical conventions and is 'unreadable' as it stands-and always was this way. One suggestion is that it was the intent of the author! conceived of in a postmodern way! to produce such a work. It is finally concluded that the 'post-prophetic' age of Hebrew literature has much in common with the postmodern.
