Publisher's Synopsis
Llamados a la Libertad from Roland Meynet's series on Biblical rhetoric presents a unique method of textual interpretation. In this volume, Meynet posits that the concept of freedom in the Hebrew Bible is the guiding core of all the sociopolitical distinctions within Israel's religious experience and history. This original study leads us through the experience of the people of Israel in the Exodus. It guides us into a new reading of the Law in the two narrative sections of the Decalogue, seeing it as an expression of the search for the authentic meaning of human freedom. Called to Freedom makes an important contribution to the ?eld of Biblical studies and is a topic that is especially relevant for modern society.
