Table of ContentsPreface 1 Sin and Metaphor in the Hebrew Bible 2 The Burden of Sin 3 The Accounting of Sin 4 Sin as Path or Direction 5 Sin as Stain or Impurity 6 Conclusion Appendix: On Metaphor and Simile BibliographyReviewsThis is a much needed volume that sorts out the immense variety of Biblical data regarding the presentation of sin in the Hebrew Bible. His judicious application of recent work on both metaphor and semantics provides new insights into various texts that have long puzzled readers. It will become the point of departure for those working on such metaphors in the First Temple period. --Gary Anderson, author of Sin: A History Patterns of Sin in the Hebrew Bible is a clear, theoretically informed, and illuminating examination of the Hebrew Bible's metaphors for sin. A comprehensive account of sin's appearances has long been wanting and here it is, finally. All students of the Bible will benefit from Lam's careful attention to the workings of the biblical metaphors, and will come away with a richer and more profound understanding of how biblical sin is construed. --Jacqueline Lapsley, Associate Professor of Old Testament, Princeton Theological Seminary Author InformationJoseph Lam is an assistant professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
