Publication › Kató Szabolcs Ferencz › 2021 › 77 › 1 › Pages: 1--7Weather imagery plays a major role in Hosea. Hosea 2 recalls the image of an unfaithful wife; Hosea 4:2–3 describes the withering of the land; in 6:3; 10:12; 14:6, the several types of precipitation draw attention to the utterance of YHWH or the requested righteousness; in 9:10.13.16; 10:1; 13:5; 14:6.8, Israel is symbolised by different plants that blossom and wither, depending on their relation to Yhwh. In all of these instances, weather phenomena contribute to these images. In this article, I try to catalogue and evaluate the metaphors and concepts to look at how meteorological images convey theological and historical messages, and vice versa how historical events or sociological procedures demonstrate their consequences in nature, especially in the weather. It seems that weather imagery is used to describe the consequences of idolatry, injustice and false politics.
Publication › Graaf, G. Henk van de › 2014 › 107 › 3 › Pages: 334--344Olvastam egykor, hogy Bethlen Gábor erdélyi fejedelem nagy bibliaolvasó volt. Ha jól emlékszem, életében legalább hússzor végigolvasta az egész Bibliát! Aki ezt meg tudta tenni, annak nagyon hűségesen és kitartóan kellett Bibliát olvasnia. Hogy az átlagos magyar hívők és családok – ha egyáltalán léteznek „átlagos” magyarok – milyen hűségesen és kitartóan olvassák a Bibliát, azt mostanig nem tudtam igazán megismerni. De nagyon kíváncsi vagyok rá.
