The point of departure for this study is a type-scene analysis which reveals a common structure to theophany narratives. Beginning with the separation of the protagonist from human society, the text moves to a visual and verbal revelation by the Deity, and records a range of human reactions to the experience. Each of the texts concludes with a description of a more externalized reaction, which marks the carrying over of the experience into a larger societal framework.The analysis develops the underlying structural and contentual similarity among texts which have traditionally been understood as belonging to different literary genres. The discussion offers a nuanced treatment of the range of literary strategies employed by the narrative for addressing these elements.In addition to a detailed analysis of each of the above components of the type-scene, there is discussion of issues such as the idea of the lethal nature of the encounter and intertextual relations between the narratives.JSOTS 420\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51942185599264,"sku":"NEW0567043916","price":342.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/encountering-the-divine-the-library-of-hebrew-bibleold-testament-studies-420-0567043916","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
