Return Migration and the Meaning of Home and Belonging in the Hebrew Bible
In this article, I look back over a decade of my own contributions to the field of Hebrew Bible and migration, to assess where these have been helpful, and where revisions are needed. I argue that boundaries are still an extremely important topic of dialogue, but that a focus on identity has not always been so helpful. Instead, I gravitate towards a more conceptually flexible framework concerning belonging, in terms of theoretical dialogue, to he…
The resistance to mainstream assumptions about retribution in Job and Tobit as theologically positive deviance
This article uses material from organizational studies and medical anthropology and sociology to address the value of the idea that bodily dysfunction or illness depart from a norm of health. It argues that examples of positive deviance can be found in the books of Tobit and in Job. Positive deviance describes behavior that notably departs from expected norms, albeit in a direction that a referent group finds positive. In much of the Hebrew Bible…
Performing Deference in Ahiqar
This article argues that subtle resistance to power was all-important in Ahiqar and this was highlighted through interpreting the narrative and poetic sections symbiotically. This resistance to power, however, was hidden in Ahiqar, embedded in ironic twists on traditionally expected roles, and in the display of obedience, deference, and loyalty that is performed in the face of the king’s power. The article suggested that Ahiqar was performed to a…
The “Foreigner” and the Eunuch
One important theme that has emerged recently in research concerning exile, migration, and return-migration is the concept of “belonging”, a concept that is quickly destabilising the emphasis on identity. This article will demonstrate the heuristic significance of research concerning belonging for Biblical scholars, focusing on the negative stereotypical identity labels, “the foreigner” and “the eunuch” in Isaiah 56:1–8. It will emphasise the cru…
The “Innards” in the Psalms and Job as Metaphors for Illness
This article explores body and illness metaphors in the Psalms and Job. Specifically, it focuses on the various terms pertaining to the “innards” or “internal organs” of the human body. Although myriad terms for internal organs exist, the terms קֶרֶב and מֵעֶה are the particular focus of this article. Interestingly, a link between discourse and digestion emerges in the metaphors from both Job and the Psalms. However, in Job a language for pain em…
You are all quacks; if only you would shut up’ (Job 13.4b–5a)
This article focuses on the theme of illness within the dialogue between the character of Job and his ‘friends’ (Job 3—37). It looks specifically at the different explanatory models used by the characters to interpret and contextualize Job’s condition and explores language of sin and blame in illness. A key contribution of this article is to highlight the problematic nature of moralizing and searching for meaning during illness and to emphasize t…
Will Naomi’s Nation be Ruth’s Nation
This article utilizes research concerning assimilation as a heuristic analytical tool through which to understand some of the factors that may have influenced Ruth’s and Naomi’s assimilation (or re-assimilation in Naomi’s case, having returned to Judah) within the Biblical book of Ruth. Initially, analysis of research concerning assimilation, research which originally emerged within the U.S. but has since developed on a larger and more sophistica…
Ethnicity and the Mixed Marriage Crisis in Ezra 9-10An Anthropological Approach
This book offers a fresh reflection on the intermarriage crisis within Ezra 9-10. Numerous issues, such as ethnicity, religious identity, purity, land, kinship, and migration, orbit around the central problem of intermarriage. These issues are explored in terms of their modern treatment within anthropology, and this information is used to generate a more informed, understanding of the chapters within Ezra. The intermarriage crisis in Ezra is pivo…
Conclusions
This chapter draws together and reflects on the book’s central arguments, and provides a number of final thoughts about the material’s relevance.
Substantive Theory and Statistical Interaction
For a series of theoretical models involving two independent interval-scale variables acting together to produce a joint causal effect, different modes of analysis are described. In each case statistical interaction is involved, but the form of this interation differs with each model. Methods for deriving appropriate interaction terms are given. These models provide a flexibility for statistical analyses appropriate to a broader range of theories…
Goodman and Kruskal's Tau-b as Correlation Ratio
It is shown that Goodman and Kruskal's Tau-b, a PRE coefficient of association between two nominal variables, is a more general form of the correlation ratio. Deriving from this, it is shown that similar correlation ratios can be derived for relationships between independent ordinal and interval variables and a dependent nominal variable. It is suggested that this makes it possible to express the relationship between any variable at any level of …
A note on systemic frustration
The writer of this note is indebted to Ivo and Rosalind Feierabend (1966) for the publication of their data in a paper in this journal. They reported the result of an attempt to obtain an indicator of the degree to which economic and social frustration existed in a nation. This indicator was essentially one of a dysfunctional social structure in which a population was exposed to the desirable things enjoyed by the moder world, at the same time be…
