This book explores the theoretical and practical implications of this observation from a cultural anthropological perspective, looks at recent anthropological studies of ancient Israelite society, supplies practical examples of a cultural interpretation of ancient Hebrew narratives, and discusses the impact of the notions 'cultural relativity' and 'inter-cultural communication' for biblical interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Continnuum-3pl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45085119053975,"sku":"9781841270982","price":16482.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781841270982.webp?v=1767264951","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/material-culture-of-the-bible-an-introduction-9781841270982","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
