Title: Semantics and ‘Spirit’ : Rwḥ and Humanity in Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job
Description: רוח is vital to the Hebrew Bible's understanding of God, the world, and humanity. However, the word defies easy categorisation or casual analysis, especially when referring to humans and their experiences. Integrating insights from several sub-fields of Cognitive Linguistics with detailed exegesis, this book examines each anthropological use of רוח in Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes, demonstrating how even complicated words in difficult passages can be fruitfully understood. As well as furthering the application of contemporary linguistics to ancient texts, this study sheds new light on the Hebrew Bible's understanding of humanity and their relationship to the world and to the divine.
