Carey presents an introduction to the elements of apocalyptic discourse in the Hebrew Bible, the intertestamental texts of the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, and the Jewish and Christian apocalyptic texts. He seeks to help modern readers perplexed by the rampant and somewhat outrageous depiction and interpretation of apocalyptic literature to see apocalyptic discourse as a flexible set of resources that early Jews and Christians could employ for a variety of persuasive tasks. Carey examines each of the literary works that exhibit apocalyptic discourse. He briefly introduces the date and language of each text and shows its basic contents. Then he examines the particular topics and purposes of the work. Carey concludes by showing a way to read the particular example of apocalyptic discourse as a whole in its own setting with its own purposes. Carey invokes discourse as a category of study in an attempt to bring together the literary, ideological, and social dimensions of apocalyptic language. He sees the genius of apocalyptic discourse in its ability to bring its audience into otherwise inaccessible mysteries concerning the future and the heavenly realms. As theology, apocalyptic discourse engages life's greatest questions-the nature of God, the desire for justice, and the frustrations of human finitude. As poetry, it expresses the theological imagination in vivid symbols and conventional literary forms.Binding Type: Paperback

DO NOT BUY THIS TOY FOR A DOG
Style: Hedgehog
I purchased this toy for my Mothers 11 pound female 10 years old rescue dog. Under 1 hour the dog chewed off all the feet, the nose, and then started to pull off the fur. We took it away. Dangerous!!! The description list for Aggressive Chewers it is not!!!

Very High-Quality Hedgehog Dog Toy That’s Bigger Than Expected
Style: Hedgehog
I am SO happy with this -- it's a nice surprise to get a dog toy that is this nice quality-wise! This plush toy is well-made and much larger than I thought it would be. The stitching is solid, and the material holds up to rough chewing. My dog’s been playing with it daily and it still looks good. The squeaker’s not too loud, and the soft texture makes it perfect for tugging or tossing.

Very Soft Toy
Style: Hedgehog
This stuffed hedgehog is very soft and has a really nice squeaker in it. I can already tell that it will absolutely not hold up to an aggressive chewer, but it will be fun for a day or two for my pup. It would probably be way better as a giant toy for a tiny dog, but it was so cute that I couldn't resist for my husky mix.
