Description: Michal's Moral Dilemma : A Literary, Anthropological and Ethical Interpretation, Hardcover by Rowe, Jonathan Y., ISBN 056727179X, ISBN-13 9780567271792, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In the context of Old Testament morality, claims Rowe (Seminario Evangélico Unido de Teología, El Escorial, Spain), family should be considered a set of practices rather than an institution. His example is how Michal deceived her father Saul to help her husband David, and how the author, by approving her counter-cultural action, affirms the importance of loyalty to the Davidic dynasty. In the process he adapts Bakhtin's theory of heteroglossic voices to help readers understand how authors present a moral vision by approving some characters' actions while undermining others. His perspectives are Old Testament morality and value conflict, the priority of the good, anthropological approaches to kinship, understanding moral choice in 1 Samuel, and Michal lying through her teraphim.
